My mother died of breast cancer and it was really awful. I knew if I ever had cancer, I would never do any of the toxic drugs, surgery, etc. In 2018, I found a lump in my breast and a Naturopath said she believed it was malignant and it needed to be surgically removed and I first needed a mammogram, etc., etc. I left her office and did The Incurables Program from American Botanical Pharmacy. You can read the book online for free: https://issuu.com/americanbotanicalpharmacy/docs/there_are_no_incurable_diseases_by_dr_richard_schu
It is a very intensive detoxification and juice flushing program. I had to do it 3 times, but the tumor finally disappeared. The Naturopath noted it was 2". The medical cartel arrested Dr. Schulze in the 1990s, not because anyone ever complained about him, but because he was healing people of ALL the incurable diseases. He got off on a technicality, but closed his practice and taught in Europe for several years. He now just has ABP. His own healing story is amazing; I think it's on the website. He used to have hundreds of testimonials and videos on the website, but during Covid, the FDA made him take them down. Such a loss.
I think it's important to know that there are alternatives to standard medical practices for cancer. It's about stopping doing what made you sick, and beginning new, healthy programs that will heal you and cleanse your body. We are under an onslaught of toxicity today. Some people won't want to change their diet, their exercise, etc., but all of what you eat and think and do is what creates your state of health or disease.
It's wonderful that DMSO can be used for cancer, but I think it is equally important to evaluate one's lifestyle and make improvements. If you can't give up alcohol, or sugar, or junk food, or a bad relationship, how is the healing that DMSO provided you with, going to keep you healthy into the future? Disease is generally a way of telling you that you need to make some positive changes.
Thank you for your research and work towards educating and helping people. ♥
"...but all of what you eat and think and do is what creates your state of health or disease."
Amazing comment to an equally amazing piece (again!) by MWD!
Just this morning at the place where I worship God publicly, the message was loud and clear about Divine Love and Light and Life/Energy, it's there for you total and complete healing and full restoration. (Greek Orthodox Christian, on the writings of St Gregory Palamas, known for his defense of God as Essence/Energy, also bodily postures/breathing. Yes, there are Christians who believe and practice this today!)
Mercola stated she wrote for him, you said that's what he said.
This is fun. Thanks Doc,
Time for another shot of DMSO, I am unsure of what method of ingestion this time requires. Let me find those damn blue suppositories and try a double injection.
I raelly dno't crae. The corrcetion of the other psoter's Englsih with the sutpdi face is uncllaed for and rahtre isnutling. Myabe the ohter psoter deosn't read Mercococola's stfuf. And tehn, myabe Mercolacocoa mdae a tpyo.
This is not bad, did you do it yourself or hire congress. Well done.
I read somewhere laughter was the best medicine, so off to get stoned. I will think happy thoughts for most everyone except those who inflict pain and suffering and the vocabulary popo.
Yes, I tried to get my mom to drink Essiac. I drank it for a while, but I don't believe it would work in today's world as a stand alone therapy. Too many poisons from too many sources. Much of cancer also has to do with your relationship with yourself and the internal dialog you have with yourself. I finally figured out that the thing I had in common with my mom was her negative way of thinking. You can take all the herbs or DMSO in the world, but I don't think that will heal your disease if you don't love yourself and your life. So much more to disease than just the physical. I had to rebuild myself from the ground up and I was already eating organic food and exercising. I did not fit the physical profile of a cancer patient. Emotional yes, physical no. Cheers!
Thank you for this info! I remember my mom's radiated skin back around 1971. She was pretty much healed .It took 25 years till it metastasized to her bones. Her pcp missed it for too long.
Well said, Carol! I believe that most illness and cancers (parasites, fungal, toxins, etc) are caused by imbalances in your body. Important to make sure your liver is functioning well and do a liver detox and support. Do vegetable juicing and stop eating sugars, breads, rice, pasta, alcohol, dairy products and most fruits. And check your pH balance via urine. Cancers, parasites, etc. thrive on sugars and don't like an alkaline environment.
And thanks for the link on Dr Richard Schulze, I'm reading it now.
Either read A Midwestern Doctor's columns on Substack; you can read almost the whole articles for free or check out Yummy Doctor or buy her book, Healing with DMSO: The Complete Guide to Safe and Natural Treatments..., by Amandha Vollmer. She has quite a few free videos on her website. yummy.doctor/video/
My wife and I each take a teaspoon of 100% DMSO twice daily. To me it just tastes mildly sweet mixed in 2 oz of water. To my wife that is very objectionable but she finds it tolerable mixed in 2 oz pomegranate juice.
I bought a gallon of DMSO from Amazon/DMSOStore.com and rebottled it in 5 used red wine bottles (green glass for light protection stored in a dark closet). It is ***WAY*** less expensive by the gallon. Wine bottle caps are of uncertain material so I put a double layer of LDPE film under the cap (where it is only exposed to DMSO gas anyway since I never tip the bottles with the cap on).
My wife has not noticed any changes but my tinnitus is variously reduced between 20 and 80%. One night I woke up out of a sound sleep and thought, "What was that sound?" On reflection it was the sound of silence - NO tinnitus. But it returned in the morning. I'll continue to experiment.
I also use 100% DMSO mixed equal parts with decolorized iodine on my toenail fungus every night. In two months it is notably better but I expect that to be a long road.
Finally, shooting pain from peripheral neuropathy wakes me up some nights. I paint my soles with 100 % dmso every other night, cover with LDPE wrap, put on socks and go to bed. No shooting pains!
Last night I twisted a knee making the bed. Today I slathered on 100% DMSO, covered with LDPE wrap, wrapped with a loose ACE bandage, and went for a slow half-hour walk. Burned for 20 or so minutes. Then burning gone. Pain gone.
I bought Glad Cling-N-Seal which is BPA free and the best I could find at the time. I will be changing to National Value Plastic Wrap which the maker's website says is BPA, PVC, and plasticizer free. I further test them it by putting a layer over the top of a mason jar with a small amount of DMSO inside, screw on the band, and turn upside down for a week or two. If the film does not stretch, bulge, discolor or leak I figure I am good to go.
I wrap in organic parchment and a rubber band. Where it also needs moisture kept in, I then put plastic wrap around it. This works particularly well for cheese as it needs to breathe, but not too much.
1) I have moved my oral DMSO to bedtime. I take 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon in a glass of water. As a result I no longer need to treat the soles of my feet. The nocturnal shooting pains have not returned.
2) I have had a patch of prickly, itchy, gnarly, lumpy varicosities in my right calf since 2015. Several weeks ago at bedtime I began applying 100% DMSO, covering with food wrap and an ACE bandage. It burns for the expected 20 minutes and then quiets down. The prickle and itch are largely resolved and the lumps are still there but are amazingly softer.
Low DensityPolyethylene food wrap from the grocery. Wipe it down with 100% DMSO prior to first use to remove possible surface treatments and then rinse after each use to remove accumulated perspiration, etc. I currently use Glad ClingNSeal.
Food wraps often have chemicals coated on the surface to make them stickier or antibacterial or for other reasons. Anything soluble in DMSO could be a problem, hence I clean the surface with DMSO before use. As to perspiration, MWD has pointed out that perspiration is one way the body expels toxins. Leaving perspiration on the wrap keeps those toxins available to be reabsorbed.
My husband has terrible peripheral neuropathy that also keeps him up at night, along with restless legs. I looked at LDPE wrap on amazon, but from the pictures it looks stiff. What kind do you purchase?
I found Benfotiamine (bioavailable vitamin B1) cured my peripheral neuropathy at one tablet a day, I was even taking it for an entirely different reason. I imagine a combo of DMSO and B1 might also be good
DMSO store sells HDPE containers for DMSO. LDPE is the low density version of HDPE which makes it flexible for use as a plastic wrap like Saran Wrap. Due to the lower density of LDPE, it has low resistance to oxidizing agents and selected hydrocarbons, which limits its use in applications where these chemicals are present.
DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is a highly polar, aprotic solvent with the ability to dissolve a wide range of organic compounds. However, it does not dissolve LDPE (low-density polyethylene) wrap. LDPE is a non-polar, hydrophobic polymer and is resistant to many chemicals, including DMSO.
What about those old fashioned style Mason jars with glass lids? They have a rubber seal but otherwise have glass lids.? Even Dollar stores have them or Ikea has wine bottle shaped ones with lock tops. (But the tops look like silicone) . Would they be better than plastic film? Also what about a piece of parchment paper? Would that be safer but seal good enough?
Hi, the main point is that DMSO is a powerful solvent that must be contained in materials that are DMSO resistant. I don't know what kind of material is used in Mason jar seals, but I wouldn't trust it without testing first. The DMSO in glass bottles sold by the DMSO Store have a polyethylene insert to protect the plastic cap from the DMSO. The DMSO in plastic bottles sold by the DMSO Store has a common glossy cardboard insert in the cap which proved to be totally inadequate as mine dissolved into pulpy paper fiber after only a few days.
I'm the medical director for the largest wellness center in Wyoming. We are getting a lot of cancer patients showing up to our clinic, recently. I look forward to sharing this information with them. I have been using Dr. Makis's protocol to some extent. I am not able to get the vitamin C in the super high doses that he recommends but our clinic has ozone therapy.
That is so awesome to hear, that the medical director for the largest wellness center in Wyoming is using Dr. Makis's protocol and other alternative therapies for cancer treatment! Reading this is a bright spot in my morning, it gives me hope that the tide is really changing, that the medical mafia is on the way out, and true healing is taking its place.
For those trying to understand the symbols some commenters mentioned in the oral dosages they took…I went to my kitchen and figured out that 8.5 mL is equivalent to 1 3/4 teaspoons. For the person who asked about the T symbol, that is normally tablespoon also often noted as Tbsp in recipes (or even tbsp) Lowercase t is sometimes used for teaspoon, or tsp. also often used in recipes. I am not a doctor or any type of expert, but I do cook and make 99% of what I eat at home in my own kitchen.
Thank you for this. I've had to do so much remeasuring in my lifetime.
It's so irritating that the US is not on the metric system like the rest of the world. And also the stupid daylight savings time as if the farmers and animals and birds don't know when to start/stop working. 🤡
Yes! I power walk a 5K with a friend, at 7 AM in the morning in the Tampa Bay area in Florida. There was plenty of light out until the day we had to switch our clocks this month. We are now walking in the pitch black, which is nerve-racking. I also noticed kids having to go to school in the dark, too. I realize it will begin getting light soon but still we’ve had a couple of weeks where it’s dark at 7 AM! How is this remotely safe and who is it helping? What was the reason for changing when the shift is made? When I was younger they did it a few weeks later and then shifted it back later in the year.
Other Cancer Treatment Sources for those interested
Dr Makis, a Canadian has a substack which he details his treatments. He doesn't tell patients to stop their regular cancer treatment if they want to continue.
Here is a recent substack which has details on treatment
"IVERMECTIN and FENBENDAZOLE Testimonial - 51 year old California man with Stage 4 Colon Cancer metastatic to peritoneum has 89% tumor shrinkage!
My husband with bladder cancer is taking ivermectin and Fenben. Along with an immune treatment. We haven’t told the doctor about the other 2 things. So far, so good.
I asked the nurse about ivermectin. Her response was that the MD supported CDC.
So it was clear that if I wanted to take control of my health I would have to lie. Fortunately she retired and my new General Practitioner is good. I can say what I want. However, she does not comment on my many supplements because she is not well versed in that area. Here in Columbus, OH, a functional medicine doctor's rate is $500/hr. I have not gone that route. 82 years old. Medicare. No prescriptions.
Ohio State now has a functional department that is covered by Medicare. My first appointment is in May. It will be interesting how "functional" they will be since OSU is such a big research hospital.
Two friends of my sister did the same for their prostate and pancreatic cancers, and both cured them. I'll bet your husband will too. Best wishes to you both!
Update on my husbands bladder cancer using IVM and Fenben. 2 weeks ago he had his second “all clear/in remission” results for the year. We think the urologist knows what we are doing as he mentioned that what hubby was doing he could cut the dose in half. 😊👍🏻
Fenbendazole. Another pet med that is easier to get than the official human version. Same thing though. We get it through the company referenced in the substack above. IVM too. There is a stack called Fenbendazole Cures Cancer.
A great book on off-label drugs and nutraceuticals for cancer stem cells (the holy grail of cancer care) is "Cracking Cancer Toolkit" by Jeffrey Dach MD. Phenomenal work!
My ancient (16 years old!) Golden Retriever is loving DMSO. As a wild and crazy youngster she did herself a lot of joint damage, like both knees (separate instances) and other. I'm fortunate to have a holistic vet. She did prolotherapy on the knees back then and that worked really well. I've been giving her a rubdown with DMSO every morning. Initially it was and still is a big help in how well she gets around but then I noticed all the lumps and bumps old dogs get were either stopped in their growth or going away. Some of them are apparently cysts, which are either shrinking up or in some cases have started draining then healing up. She just went to the vet for her annual and the vet was joking with me about her living forever because she was in such great shape for her age. I wish, but, hey, equivalent age to 112 years human is incredible and we'll just enjoy that one day at a time.
On the human front, I started taking DMSO orally and am definitely getting very vivid dreams as a fun side effect of any other benefits. I'm old, but still quite active with large gardens and fruit trees. The topical DMSO has been great for all the miscellaneous injuries that go along with that like sunburn, muscle strain (actually healed up what was suspected to be a partially ripped/detached muscle in one arm, supposedly no fixing it) bug bites, scratches and bruises etc, etc. I do believe the oral is also gradually improving overall health, particularly on the inflamation front. All I can say for the pup and myself is a big thanks to the doc here for pointing out something that has us both feeling better every day in spite of our ages.
What percentage DMSO are you using for the morning rubdown, do you dilute it and if so with what? Is it shrinking the cysts? Our almost 10 year old lab has a couple of lumps which I manage to keep from growing too quickly using a mushroom mix and doggie CBD. This might be something to consider adding to our routine. Your protocol sounds very promising!
I'm using full strength from the DMSO store. No dilution. I patch tested her first on a spot where I could see any negative reactions on her skin.
On the cysts, some are shrinking, some are starting to drain out on their own, some just seem the same size.
They may not all be cysts, some may be cancers. My vet showed me that some of them aren't attached to anything but the skin, and some are anchored into something under the skin, the anchored ones being possible cancers. Those are also the ones that are staying the same or have minor shrinkage.
Just wanted to tell you that I have been making a skin serum with ascorbic acid power, a little baking soda to balance the PH, distilled water and DMSO. It is very effective and my skin hasn't looked better. The only downfall is I have to make a fresh batch regularly as I can not use any preservatives ( although the vit C has that capacity) due to the possibility of DMSO amplifying it's effects. Reading about the use of DMSO in skin cancer treatments was very interesting, thank you.
I use it primarily on my face but also on any other areas that need attention. Also I find if I have cuts and scratches from gardening that it helps to reduce redness and aids healing.
I believe the quote below IS THE MOST CRITICAL PART! Thank you AMD 🙏🏼 Your charge drops after sedation and surgery too, I help all my clients “get your charge up”. Your cells need the water to be in the Fourth Phase and optimize the terrain as much as possible.
“Collectively, many of these studies touch upon a longstanding observation that the transition to cancer is in part due to the electrical charges and the state of the water within the cells (e.g., it should be in an energy generating liquid crystalline state—something raising the membrane transition temperature promotes), which is a topic I have written more about here.”
Wow! Thank you so much Doc! What a tome! I forwarded this on to dozens of friends and others that might be able to use it. I just got some DMSO for myself and my patients and I’ve been experimenting with it. It’s so good to read just how safe and effective it is. I am blown away! Thank you again. I really appreciate your Substack.
I think that some may still use it. I’ve been watching the emergency room drama series The Pitt on Prime and in episode 8 they used DMSO along with some other things to help remove mercury from a patient’s system.
While I deeply appreciate the scholarship in the DMSO series, I would like to say that I have had no success with this product. I have carefully used the protocol for several weeks with the recommended DMSO for three issues: tinnitus, tendonitis, and spider veins. My personal report is NOT to discourage or disparage the use of DMSO. I tolerated it well but it just didn’t work for me, and is a reminder that not everything works for everyone. I remain interested in and grateful for all your research on so many topics!
For the people it doesn't work for- do they need an earthing mat?
It seems to me that's needed, from your discussion about liquid crystal water in the body. And also from the fact that heat is emitted from the interaction between DMSO and water. And also from your discussion about zeta potential.
Geoff Pain recently warned, that the product is not all that safe - I guess you best check if you are allergic to the ingredients you might be worse off. I am allergic to sulfur. I had no result at all with methylene blue either. Finally gave book and bottle to friends. May be they can get help from it.
I looked through his arguments extensively and did not agree with them. I addressed all of them in the article about DMSO's safety but avoided personally attacking him.
You can't be allergic to sulfur. It's necessary for life. I assume you're alive, thus you are using and ingesting sulfur. If something WITH sulfur makes you react, you have a sensitivity or allergy to another ingredient or compound combined with the sulfur.
Same for me Teresa. I tried DMSO on my spider veins for several months. No change at all. We also tried it on our fur baby who had chewed herself due to traveling anxiety. Applied it several times a day for 2 weeks - no help. Finally took her to the vets that gave us something that cleared it about in 3 days. Sure wish I knew why it works for some and not others. Love MWD and her knowledge that she shares though!! (Not sure why I think MWD is a woman?)
Well, an interesting twist in the conversation….hmmm, he/she, does not matter. They have awakened many and for that I am so grateful!! @MWD, can’t wait for Part 2!!
It’s only a guess….no one knows and I get thats the way MWD wants it. I wish whoever it is would come out and take a bow for her/his fabulous content that needs to be heard thruout the world.
Does your lifestyle include frequent and regular earthing? From what I understand about the mechanisms DMSO works by, earthing is an essential part of the equation.
Purchase an earthing mat aka earthing pad. I put mine across my pillow at night. For example from Groundology. There's also bedding for grounding while asleep.
I wonder if you tried different brands? And not from Amazon?
And is there any possibility that sometimes healers dont work because there is some blockage? Root canals.or mercury amalgums or.toxicity from vaccines or shedding from someone elses vaccine or bowels partially blocked or parasites? Just a thought....
Many many thanks! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the time and effort you put into this. And I’m one of those who have been anxiously awaiting this. Again, my deepest appreciation. And I hope to share some corroborating info soon.
Thank you again, AMD! Regarding combinations of DMSO with natural therapies, here are some I'd like to see tested STAT! DMSO + Ivermectin, and/or Fenbendazole, curcumin, Modified Citrus Pectin.
I am really grateful for the this series of articles! I have osteoarthritis and have done every conceivable, genetically informed, study based nutrients/lifestyle hack you can imagine. I eat organically, optimized sleep, exercise 5/6/days/week, infrared sauna etc.
DMSO really helped immensely! In the beginning I used 99% strength topically twice/day. It itches for about 20 minutes and then pain free. After 2 months of this, I started taking it 1 tsp/day and worked up to 3 tsp in 2 divided doses. This began to cause heartburn so I discontinued oral after a month. I also made a salve to apply and usually this is enough to control pain at this point. It is a study based/spiritually directed formula and has taken the scaly skin issue away. At this point, I find I have to apply it less often. If I have a flare, I apply the salve and then the DMSO. This has reduced intake of Aleve to maybe twice/month. I have also used DMSO to reduce and eliminate pain from pulling a muscle during a lift. I do think the combination of topical and oral helped in the number of flares. I am considering restarting 1 tsp with honey as mentioned in a linked comment.
Thanks again for your detailed discussion of DMSO. I have to admit though that I don't understand the way dosing is discussed. For example, you write "2.5% oral DMSO significantly slowed the cancer’s growth." But this is only part of the story. One needs to know both the concentration and the total amount of solution consumed.
Did they take a tablespoon of 2.5% DMSO? Or a glass full of 2.5% DMSO. I'd really like to have a better understanding of the dose responses of DMSO when reading.
I have 99% pure pharmaceutical grade. Should I drink that? How much? (10 yr lung cancer survivor, 4 yr bladder cancer survivor, and now they're going to do biopsy of something on kidney, and postponed the smaller thing they found on pancreas, cause didn't want biopsy down my esophagus! And can only handle one thing at a time!)
I take DMSO orally for an autoimmune condition. Once per day I add 8.5 ml of 99.99% DMSO to a liquid (usually juice) for a total of 125 ml. That's about a 6.8% DMSO solution.
When working with 99.99% DMSO, the final percentage is ml of DMSO divided by ml of total solution.
This is what I do. It doesn't constitute medical advice.
Agreed. The total amount of DMSO used (such as g/kg) in addition to the concentration would be useful when discussing systemic applications (IV, injection, oral). Percentage concentration are more useful in topical applications.
In this case the body is primarily water, so I'm not sure the strength is of importance as much as the absolute amount of DMSO ingested (which of course should be diluted for ingestion for safety.)
Since the density of DMSO is nearly that of water we can get along well by assuming 1 g/cm^3 for density at STP. Since 1 cm^3 is equal to 1 ml, we can equate 1 ml DMSO with 1 g DMSO.
So, when AMD cites a case where 2.5% had effect, we can see that 2.5 ml of DMSO in 100 ml of solution is a 2.5% solution. From there we can see that 2.5 ml is 2.5 g based on density. A 2.5 g dose for an 88.5 kg body is 0.028 g/kg. That ultimately determines the resulting plasma concentration in that body.
That's actually pretty small. So it is amazing how effective DMSO can be.
People are different though, and some may require higher doses in order to achieve effective plasma concentration levels.
Reminder: I'm not a doctor. And always verify my math.
I'm still working my way through this article and all the links. There is a true story I felt useful to relate when I came across this statement, though I may have told it before: "...since there is so much fear surrounding cancer..."
Many years ago my mother was being treated for cancer. She was sharing a room with another patient. When I came to visit, she asked me to close the curtain between them and motioned me to come close so she could privately tell me something. She said the other woman came to find out what was wrong with her. When her daughter came and asked what they found, she said, "It's terminal kidney disease." "Oh! thank God it isn't cancer!" the daughter exclaimed.
Never forget, cancer is just a "C" word. Some things are worse, some not. Keep your balance.
AMWDr, thank you so much for this amazing article. So much information! I have a few comments to add.
Melatonin at high doses appears to do one of the things that DMSO can do which is to freeze a cancer and promote some re-differentiation. It also makes Insulin Potentiation Therapy comfortable. Dr Frank Shallenberger uses it very effectively (see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=Roh4lQXneQg ). I have had a few people ask me for ideas and have suggested they use both DMSO and high-dose melatonin. So far, their experiences seem positive as they work with their doctors.
I have used a 1.87% Ivermectin topical treatment on my mother's various skin growths (she is 100), and they fall off like crazy fast. I have not mixed the paste with DMSO, but I suspect it would help, especially with deeper or thicker growths.
I have been trying to integrate DMSO into my life but find dehydration is a serious limiting factor. In Ayurvedic terms, I am half Vata, half Pitta, and 3% Kapha, so the Vata type issues can be destabilizing and drying in themselves. DMSO makes that drying even more difficult and destabilizing. If you have any advice on dealing with the dehydration DMSO can cause, especially in Vata body types without a Kapha anchor, I would appreciate it. There may be other readers with a similar issue. :-)
Thanks, Margo, but as far as I can tell, DMSO is favorable for ZP. No, my experience is that DMSO, as AMWDr stated, does cause water to leave tissues and exit the body. A Vata body type would be more sensitive to this process than, say, a Kapha body type which tends to stay moist. I'm really just wondering if there is a specific action I haven't thought of to help prevent this destabilizing effect, but I suspect that I'm stuck with drinking more and taking more magnesium and electrolytes. I'm continuing to work on it, with lower doses of DMSO and being careful about foods that might dry out in the GI tract if I don't drink enough. We'll see! :-)
I'm probably very similar in terms of Ayurvedic constitutional type, but I haven't had the issue regarding DMSO causing dryness other than skin dryness and itching where I apply it. The itching issues go away if I use a lower concentration.
What happens when you use DMSO that leads you to conclude it's causing dehydration and aggravating Vata?
Thanks, pimaCanyon! I'm using it orally. It causes GI issues due to dehydration. I often forget to hydrate or to take my magnesium, so the DMSO adds a destabilizing factor to the situation. I just wanted to see if AMWDr or anyone else had advice. Given your comment, maybe I should switch to topical, but that seems to be volume limited. Still experimenting! :-)
Again THANKS for a TERRIFIC article .. I honestly don't know what I would do without this substack since just about ALL my clinical decisions come from it since the clinical advice I get from ALL my doctors, with one very notable exception, is worse than worthless since the Rx always prescribed are always to some extent IMHO LETHAL [some are lethal sooner, some sneak up after awhile .. fortunately I found out that I could not tolerate anything tho one almost completely destroyed me .. so I just nod yes and immediately ignore virtually all the clinical advice I am given, again with one notable exception where the Dr tells me I am doing an excellent job taking my and my wife's health into our own hands]

great comment, thank you. I've copied and pasted into a document and saved on my hard drive because you've got so many great links in the comment, and I want it easily available for future reference.
Excellent! I have been using chlorine dioxide (CDS) for about 7 years (topically and externally). I plan to incorporate DMSO to enhance the CLO2 absorption.
The best book I have read on cancer is by Dr Jerry Tennant, Healing is Voltage; Cancers On/Off Switch: Polarity. He proposes cancer cells form due to a lack of voltage/pH.
Another cancer therapy from an Italian scientist is Citozym from Citozeatec. They use enzymatic substrates orally and topically with some amazing results. (http://www.citozeatecsrl.ch).
Thank you again! The different dose specific amounts is fascinating. One application of 99% to my knee is all i needed to help with arthritis (one more application helped after i overdid it). I've given the same three times to my dog who tore her acl). It helped her as well. I'm fascinated recently by bloodroot and black salve but am early in the learning. Ive had the three types of skin cancers. I healed a bcc with eggplant and acv mixture I made. I couldn't stop thinking about all the healing possible when just reading the books...When Breath Becomes Air and Everythg Happens for a Reason
I was looking for some mention of Ivermectin, Fenbendazole, and Mebendazole in your article AMD, and I was grateful that you did, as mentioned that many people have enquired about the topic of combining those with DMSO. I have been following Dr. William Makis' exploits with the three compounds, and he is reporting today that many folks have had positive outcomes with exzema, self-experimenting with these proven safe drugs. I will be trying out some of these protocols if I can find something wrong with me to justify the experiment. I recently did damage to a left-side piriformis doing some superhuman calisthenics loading/unloading a truck...applied DMSO at 50% and about a week into it I'm back on my feet. You mentioned piriformis recently in the comments, at about that same time I was needing some help. S.I. SYNDROME and piriformis are difficult to differentiate sometimes, because the symptoms overlap. I was suffering from both. Thanks for all the work AMD, we will put it to good use. God bless you.
David - consider yourself fortunate that you have this "issue" :) I'm afraid you're in the minority!! " if I can find something wrong with me to justify the experiment."
Many thanks for another great article on DMSO. I have purchased the gel but have not tried it yet. If something becomes pressing then I'm ready and have it on hand. Thanks for all your hard work, research and time devoted to making us aware and knowledgeable on DMSO.
This is very long and detailed and I just skimmed it. As I got it tonight, I plan to take a long time to dive down the rabbit hole following all the links, as I plan to use it. Thank you for this information.
Thanks! I have been using it externally, but plan to try internally after I read more. I believe it has already made it possible to avoid the surgery I was contemplating.
I took DMSO orally for a jaw pain (still not sure if it was TMJ). I took 1 teaspoon a day in 6 oz of water for about 2 weeks then continued with about 4-5 drops of 50% DMSO in water applied as close as I could get to the TM joint. I am very tolerant of DMSO. The pain is now gone. I am still not sure if it was the TMJ or a tooth.
We tried a (very) few times with no evident success. Do not take as definitive though please. Suggest you look up OG. Is a very recently (January 025) developing potential treatment that can be injected in the periphery of a malignant tumor.
Is there a particular book on DMSO you recommend? The original Dr. Jacobs book is out of print and costs an arm and a leg. There are several to choose from on Amazon, but I can't figure out which one is best.
Lance's favorite is DMSO's nature healer. Once I finish the hemoxylin article and the combination therapy article, pretty much everything that exists in every DMSO book (plus a lot more) will be available in these articles.
Thank you so much for your reply and your through research. I was trying to research at what age it would be safe topically i.e. for children. Subscribing to your substack is one of better decisions I've ever made!
Thank you Infinitely for ALL your EXCELLENT work/info!!!! What a difference it has made for MANY people! And in such a short time. I first heard about you from Mercola's newsltter. Sometime last yr Jimmy Dore mentioned you on his show! I love when crucial info spreads! I always look forward to. you articles and share them with others.
Meanwhile, I was wondering if you were or any of the commenters going to mention chlorine dioxide along with dmso together. I've been applying dmso topically, and also adding it to my daily dose of activated chlorine dioxide. It seems that chlorine dioxide is highly beneficial for successfully treating cancer. And along with dmso... the magic ticket!
Another question, I think I saw in one of your dmso articles that it's contraindicated when on antidepressants. I wan't to tell a friend about it, but not sure he would be able to take it because of the problematic pharma drug. ; (
Thank you for your reply! Looking forward to all your amazing unfolding articles to come! I'm incredibly amazed at the work you've been covering and sharing. It's MAJORLY BENEFICIAL!!! And yea ok, so people on SRIs, dmso would not be a good idea. ; (. I wonder if that is the same for chlorine dioxide. I think with chlorine dioxide you also can't drink any caffeine. And even ivermectin & fenbendazole cancer treatment, SRIs might be seriously problematic.. I can see how people should/could, possibly give up alcohol, especially for treating cancer, but getting off of SRI's is another story. Maybe there is newer info about how to do that..
Oh, and it would be WONDERFUL if someone could write up something about similarities and differences between chlorine dioxide, dmso, ivermectin & fenbendazole, even pine spirits & castor oil... And what conditions each of them provide, and maybe shortfalls. A lot of traction in interest is developing re these substances and how to use them. GOOD THING, RIGHT! And I wish the evil doers would stop smearing Kennedy!
Again, MUCH APPRECIATION to you Midwestern Doctor!!!
Anti depressants are often meant to push serotonin. Serotonin has never been proven to help depression. (If thats what they are on) its a joke. A bad joke.
For depression, a lot of laughter, and real jokes and good news. And sun and Walking. Helps the dopamine. Sleep.and high dose Vit B. Niacin and Vit D3 (at least 10,000 iu.with K2. high dose. And many other healthy supplements. but a Good Natropathic doc is best for this.
Right. My friend believes in all the conventional stuff. I don't think he would even consider giving up his medication. Let alone believe that B, Niacin, D3, K2... could make a difference. Hopefully he will be coming around.
MB, I've been thinking it's a great health promotion & remedy, but just this week Sayer Ji in one of his newsletters has an article:
'The Blue Brain Effect: Methylene Blue's Dark Side & What You Should Be Ingesting Instead'
'Biohackers are turning to methylene blue--but what exactly is this synthetic, petroleum-derived chemical doing to the human body, and at what cost?'
He says, concerning its potential to cross the blood-brain barrier and the implications of its presence in neural tissues.. and there are plenty of adverse effects found in the medical literature. But we know what that could mean.
He says safety studies should be conducted...
Sayer isn't one to smear holistic beneficial substances, he's a friend of Kennedy, maybe he just wants to push 'gold medal science'. Also though, he promotes phycocyanin: which can be found in spiralina as a health alternative, which could be true. Meanwhile, now I'm not sure about MB?
Maybe MW dr will be sharing info about it? Interesting, I can comment and reply to comments, but when I click on like, for you and MW dr, nothing happens?
I believe the mineral molybdenum could help offset those sensitive to DMSO. The sensitivity could be due a suox gene polymorphism. Those who don't tolerate sulfur foods often have a compromised sulfation pathway.
how do you know if you don't tolerate sulfur foods? I eat them (like veggies in brassica family) and don't notice a problem. However, I do notice a problem when I've tried MSM, seems to adversely affect my gut.
To my knowledge there is no test other than having the suox gene glitch. Even that is only the potential to have problems. May try reintroducing msm with molybdenum and see if it helps
Why do you recommend NOT applying DMOS to an open wound? It’s not explained.
I am especially curious since it seems like it might help with psoriasis and also be useful for topical treatment of my wife’s non-healing breast tumor skin wound.
Thank you so much for this extremely valuable article!
interesting. I did the same thing a couple days ago after taking a flying fall on a hiking trail. I was wearing gloves but the fall still broke the skin on the heel of my palm. I applied DMSO to the periphery of the bleeding area.
Now here's the amazing part of that story. After I got up from the fall, I had a bruise on the muscle just to the right of, and slightly above, the kneecap of the left leg (quad muscle). It was about the size of a nickel, blue-ish and getting darker. I had arnica with me, so I took some. I realized the hike was over, so I began hiking back to the trailhead, but the pain in my knee and the quad muscle was intense. Then I remembered I had DMSO in my pack. I put some on the bruised area, the pain went away immediately, but the surprise was so did the bruise! I mean like maybe 1/2 minute, 1 minute, the blue color of the bruised tissue was back to normal. I've never had a bruise like that disappear. I figured it would turn an ugly black and blue and would take a week or more for it to disappear. The pain came back as I was walking, but I just reapplied DMSO about every 20 minutes or so till I got back to the trailhead. Two days later the leg is almost back to normal, no residual pain when I walk or even run very slowly. DMSO is a miracle!
In the winter especially, I get these tiny splits (a tiny open wound) in the skin on my finger tips, which are exceedingly painful if you bump the finger tip on anything. Which is very east to do if I am doing any kind of manual labor, or just doing anything. Last one I had a month or so back, I had been dealing with it for a couple of weeks, rubbing in every known lotion trying to keep it soft. But it seemed no better. (when I used to work in the hospital, many would get these from using latex gloved coated with powder to make them easier to get on. The only thing that ever helped us was a very powerful prescription steroid cream, but using 1% hydrocortisone cream(non- prescription) didn't seem to help much. ......................................... Anyway, this last one, I decided to SOAK it for a minute or 2 in 99.9% DMSO. Within 2 hours, it was noticeably better! The next day it was 90% better. I soaked it again. By later that day 100% of pain was gone, though it took a few days for the split to 100% close up. I was thrilled, thinking I'd never have to suffer with these things again! ......................... Well, a couple of days ago I was doing a lot of work repairing some rotted wood behind a gutter on my house. ( kind of hard because I had no help and am 76 years old) I developed another one my thumb. I soaked in DMSO, and did not get much improvement. Repeated, still not much improvement, thought "OH NO, it is not going to work!". I have been coating it with equiv of chap stick to keep it flexible and moist and reduce the pain. Now, 2 or 3 days into it, I soaked it 1 more time. Now, a few hours later, I notice pain is 90% gone!!!!! YAY!!!!!! I think this was s significantly larger split, plus it was extra hard not to re-injur it what with it being on my thumb. Even buttoning a shirt was painful and re-injuring. Maybe that is why it took longer? But even so, these things can take weeks to heal, so I am still delighted!
Non healing wounds may be helped by diluted St. JOHNS Wort. Dilute in hot water. (This is to take away the alcohol so it doesnt sting!) Amazing for healing open wounds. So is Asea.
I'll have to look back through AMD's previous articles, someone said there's a protocol for tinnitus there. But if anyone knows of it and could save us the time to look it up, it'd be appreciated. :)
Upon looking again, the scribd site wanted an account to view the content. (I saved a pdf originally). Anyway, hope this isn't a nuisance but here is the section from the MDW dealing with the application to ears:
DMSO for the Ears
While systemic administrations of DMSO can sometimes help ear conditions, typically when DMSO is used to treat tinnitus, it is also administered directly into the canal (e.g., you lie on your side with the ear facing the ceiling and then put 2-3 drops of DMSO into it). When this is done, 40% DMSO is typically used (some use 50%), but to be safe, you may want to use a lower concentration to start. Likewise, placing DMSO on the head around the ear can sometimes help as well (e.g., the previously mentioned New York City clinic would also apply a 90% DMSO lotion combined with capsicum [a circulation increasing compound] and aloe vera around the ear twice each day).
Note: typically, the most reliable results for tinnitus are found within Chinese Medicine (which frequently views tinnitus as a result of insufficient blood flow). I have also had some success injecting lidocaine into areas around the ear (e.g., the acupuncture points used to treat tinnitus), as this appears to reset the excessive sympathetic activity that plays a key role in tinnitus (which I learned about from this paper).
Additionally, in the study I cited earlier where DMSO was used to successfully treat tinnitus, various drugs were mixed with it that were thought to increase circulation. Specifically:
The treatment consisted of the local application of approximately 2 ml spray solution in the external auditive canal of the affected ear every 4 days for one month. The spray solution contained the following drugs: y-ketophenylbutazone, moroxydine HCl, hydrocortisone, lidocaine HCl, n-propylcarbinol, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a vehicle and potentiator of the other drugs. At the same time, the patients were treated parenterally with a daily intramuscular injection (5 ml) for 30 days. The injections contained buphenine chlorhydrate, y-aminobutyric acid, y-amino-j3- hydroxybutyric acid, 1-acetylglutamine, lidocaine chlorhydrate, and DMSO (0.5 ml), plus water (q.s. 5 ml).
While some of these substances are now very hard to get ahold of, what jumped at me was lidocaine being part of this treatment protocol, which means they may have inadvertently been doing the neural therapy approach (injecting lidocaine into an overactive nerve so that it resets back to normal when the anesthetic wears off).
When DMSO is used for infections of the ear, it can be mixed with various antibiotics (e.g., the research here I mentioned used oxacillin, terramycin, or erythromycin). However, DMSO can be combined with a wide range of antibiotics, antivirals, and anti-fungals (which I will discuss later in this series).
Note: erythromycin is one of the most consistently effective antibiotics for eliminating cell-wall-deficient bacteria (which are a common cause of chronic illness).
Additionally, many instead mix DMSO with easily available antimicrobial substances. For example, one author advocates for putting chlorine dioxide (e.g., 2 drops of activated MMS in 10ml water) or hydrogen peroxide (1-3%) immediately before or after applying DMSO.
Just a quick question about DMSO in general. I have a 70% DMSO and aloe Vera gel, as well as a 50% mixture I created with distilled water. When I use either one topically, I get an uncomfortable pins and needles tingling for 20-30 minutes, along with skin redness where applied and in some cases my skin itches in that area. Given your experience with many users of DMSO, is this common and/or potentially something to be concerned about?
I have been a little reluctant to ingest it for these reasons.
It’s a funny idea for a patent, sort of like patenting lemonade, but I’m glad I came across the honey/DMSO formulas/ratios he outlines as they make DMSO less itchy topically and more palatable orally.
Not only that but the patent itself is full of great DMSO information. The author had been working with DMSO for 25 years at the time of publishing.
Thanks Ben, very interesting information. The other reason I have been slow to use DMSO is that my Mom used it 40+ years ago and I still remember the eye watering smell.😂. When I would get close to her, I could taste it (possibly my imagination due to strong odor), and it was definitely not pleasant.
I haven’t noticed the odor to be nearly as strong with the DMSO I have, which is supposed to be 99.9% pure, but then my sense of smell is not nearly as sensitive, since I lost it entirely when I had COVID (or whatever that was, so as not to trigger any no-virus readers) so the honey information is very good to know.
I've heard from Dr Bryan Ardis that nicotine patch or gum will bring back your taste and smell. He has a 2:30 hour video on it. Nicotine is in many of the everyday foods we eat :)
Yes this definitely works, after covid messed up my sense of smell, I had to relearn certain smells. I had been dealing with that for about 4 years and my natural doctor suggested I try the nicotine patch. He suggested 7 mg, alternately you can purchase the 21 mg and just cut it in thirds. Within a matter of actually even hours, the weird smells started going away! After about a month he told me to cut the 7 mg in half and just do a maintenance dose of 3.5 mg. I was told that nicotine got a bad rap because it is used in cigarettes that contain the harmful chemicals. Also had a friend who had a lot of shakiness in her hands, she tried it and it was almost immediate like within an hour of her taking it better shakiness subsided. My smell issue still Creeps in once in awhile so I keep the patches around and I just put on 7 mg one each day for just a couple of days and it helps keep it under control.
Thank you, I have actually seen that video and went as far as to buy nicotine patches, but then I read something else about how all the other components in the patches and nicotine itself being bad for you. It is just so hard to know what the real truth is with so much contradictory information.
I lost my sense of smell for approximately 1 1/2 years and then it began to come back very gradually. I’m still pondering whether to use the patches. It does make sense.that nicotine could be protective because my Dad, who was a quite heavy smoker for 70 years was never sick. Unfortunately, all the other chemicals in the cigarettes eventually took their toll and he developed COPD which was a very high price to pay.
There’s a brand of nicotine lozenge called Nic Nac. They make their lozenges with just 5 ingredients and sweetened with xylitol sugar from birch trees which is protective for teeth. I was so grateful to find them as most gums, patches, pouches use horrendous chemicals and sweeteners. I only use it on rare occasions for mental focus to get specific tasks done and it works great.
Great info! Can you "interpret" what percentage of honey vs. DMSO this patent recommends. I can barely tolerate DMSO even at a 20% solution (in water/colloidal silver) so I'm hopeful the honey could be the ticket for me!
This was in the article: I have experimented over the last three years with various formulations of DMSO and honey, with an excellent, general, formulation being 1 part honey, 7 parts DMSO, and 3 parts water.
The author has a list of different formulations. The one I use is: dimethyl sulfoxide about 19 grams; honey about 2 grams; water about 6 grams. That’s what I use orally and topical on my body. If I use it on my face I use 50/50 honey/DMSO for 30 minutes before showering.
Karen, here is my weird experience: I was applying 99.9% liquid to various aches and pains. Main place I needed it was my hips, lt hip especially, as these would wake me up when I was asleep on my side middle of the night. So, I start applying to both hips at bedtime, hoping to get thru the night. It did help. But, my extra bad hip, the left(only) would burn like crazy for 30 minutes or so...................................................................... I was starting to dread applying it. (rt hip was no problem!) I was afraid I would actually blister, but I never saw any or even much redness. Plus, it was itching quite unpleasantly, even during the day many hours after applying it. But I kept applying it, either right before bed or as soon as that hip pain woke me up middle of the night. .................................. Then, after a couple of weeks, it 100% stopped burning or itching. So I now do not hesitate to apply it before bedtime, which greatly improves my odds of not being awakened at 4AM with hip pain. Go figure. Why did it quit burning and itching? Why did it ever burn and itch there and not most other places, including my rt hip? I have no clue. But it did, and I'm happy about that!
That is so strange, because I have a similar story. I broke my leg pretty badly when I was 3. Fast forward almost 60 years and I started to have very sharp pains in the area of the old break, that are becoming more frequent. I decided to use DMSO to see if that would help, but similar to you, it not only tingles and burns, but is also very itchy, sometimes even a day or two after I have stopped applying it, which does not happen when I use it elsewhere. Unlike you though, I stopped using it there because of the very annoying itch. I guess I’ll try it again to see if that effect will go away.
I get some tingling and burning but it goes away. Not a problem for me. I use the gel from Tractor Supply and it works well with my knee pain. I use full strength DMSO liquid in orange juice. I have just started that.
When I use the 70 per cent with aloe vera I get the burning, tingling, itchy red thing but goes away in about 20 minutes and I notice an improvement. I had a skin tag that fell off after about two weeks of applying dmso regularly.
I get some itchiness, I guess you could call it that, with 70% mixed with aloe vera, but it goes away in about 10 minutes. I don't know if it gets red because I put it on my back. Some days are more than others. Aloe Vera may modify some of the reaction. I can use 100%, but find 70% works well enough. There is organic Aloe Vera that can also be taken internally at most nutrition stores.
You say DMSO draws in whatever is on the surface of the skin. Does it spread anything it encounters while moving inside the body? Specifically I am wondering about amalgam fillings in teeth.
Forgive me if I’m asking about something you already wrote about. I’d like to be able to speak with my radiation oncologist about allowing me to use a topical 70% dmso gel with aloe before and after each of my upcoming 35 sessions for a deep large basal growth behind my ear. When I first asked her about it she showed me a toxicity curve and explained that a crème could cause the dosage to be too high.
I already use this gel regularly on the site without irritation.
I’m about to have a ct simulation so I figure I have 2 weeks to prepare.
I found a 2018 article from Penn Med, about a study done by Dr Bauman that showed it’s ok to use a thin layer of protective crème in most cases without the complicating effects, and the article also showed that most doctors surveyed about such usage didn’t allow it.
I guess I’m also looking for confirmation that using a thin layer of dmso gel as pretreatment isn’t going to alter that toxicity curve, and if it does, can treatment be altered accordingly by reducing dosage.
I plan to show her your article also, but I’m not sure if that’ll be enough.
I appreciate your work. It would be nice to know the best way to approach this given that I’m willing to take the risk. Thank you!
Fantastic research! Thanks for putting such great work into this. I have a friend who has lung, liver and stomach cancer and is using DMSO topically but this will be a valuable resource in how to use it more effectively. Thank you so much for all your hours you devoted to this.
Thank you for all your hard work in researching and reporting this information. It’s so hard to believe that the FDA all but erased DMSO. So many could have benefited from it. Fortunately, you’ve made us all aware! Bless you.
Thanks you for your insightful article! I found it particularly interesting that you briefly mentioned the potential combination of DMSO with ivermectin. You noted that while you understand the theoretical merits, you don't have direct experience with this combination.
I've been specifically curious about whether using DMSO (which is known for its ability to enhance permeability and drug penetration) could potentially increase ivermectin's ability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Normally, ivermectin doesn’t easily pass through the BBB due to the action of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux pumps, thus preventing it from accumulating in the central nervous system. However, by combining ivermectin with DMSO, could we unintentionally increase the risk of neurotoxic side effects, such as ataxia, tremors, seizures, or even coma?
Do you have any additional insights or perhaps anecdotal evidence regarding this potential risk, even if indirectly from other professionals?
It's not overthinking, but rather a professional curiosity. High doses of ivermectin (1-2 mg per kg of body weight) are sometimes used in cancer therapies, and it's important to consider the potential risks. Ivermectin's half-life and cumulative effects are relevant here—especially in terms of how it could accumulate in the brain, which might lead to serious consequences if there's too much of it in the system. I'm particularly interested in this due to the possible neurotoxic side effects, especially when combined with DMSO, which can enhance permeability and potentially affect the blood-brain barrier.
I watched the video and the doctor said to apply the DMSO on the skin and leave it to dry for 15 to 30 minutes. Is that the protocol, is it not supposed to be rubbed in?
Certain parts of my body cannot tolerate even a 70 percent solution (my back, for example), but when I use a 40 or 50 percent solution there, it's much better tolerated. My feet however can tolerate very high doses. I just use a more dilute solution for the areas that are too sensitive for the 70 percent solution.
I’m a subscriber but have never written before. Doctor, my husband has or had stage 4 prostate cancer, and he’s been taking ivermectin and Fenbendazole among other things. (Also had pin point radiation) Last pet scan showed no cancer in prostate but slight cancer showing in 4 lymph nodes around prostate. He gets his medical care from the VA in Nashville. They are concerned it might spread and are recommending androgen therapy. Last PSA was up quite a bit, and he’s concerned. He asked me how to take the DMSO to help. I take it for muscle pain. It works great. But I don’t know what to tell him. Internally? On the skin? What should we combine it with? Any suggestions? He’s very open to alternative treatments.
1) You can take DMSO orally or apply it topically over perineum (some people also do interectal to get directly at the prostate), all of which I've seen help for BPH.
2) Pierre Kory has a telemedicine practice that works with a lot of this stuff.
3) Lance (who also commented here) also has a lot of knowledge in this area.
Thank you for that advice in DMSO and prostate cancer. We are in contact with Lance and will be flying down to Ecuador tomorrow for a week of treatment, which we will continue on our own. Also, I wanted to mention, I just read an email from someone who calls himself The Health Ranger (Mike Adams), and he seems to have plagiarized your article on DMSO and cancer. Not only that, but there is a scare quote in the article about someone who died from using DMSO because he had nicotine on his hand when he applied it. And other warnings. Here’s the link: https://healthranger.substack.com/p/dmso-natures-healing-solvent-with?publication_id=1225906&post_id=161482414&isFreemail=true&r=fn2ov&triedRedirect=true

AMD- thank you for this article, I knew it was in the pipeline and so happy to see it! Do you (or anyone here) know if taking DMSO orally affects the gut microbiome? I'm guess it's absorbed in the upper digestive tract and never makes it down that far.
For bladder cancer that has not invaded the muscle wall, would oral DMSO be used? He is on an immune treatment at the moment. Also using Ivermectin and Fenbendazole ( without telling the urologist). Thanks.
We have applied dmso with haematoxylin dissolved in it, topically to the bladder.
But during the same period (which was five weeks) the principal treatment was standard i.v. MWD's upcoming article will explain in depth all of this. The both together (topic and i.v.) was successful. Patient is 5 years out. And very happy he decided not to go to England to get treatment.
Thank you, Doctor. What a labor of love of knowledge. Is there a possible source for the footnoted references? Have this ridiculous habit of following references down the rabbit hole. From your past information have added extensively to printed library as a defense against the revisionist history activities to which you may be able to attest.
Is there a book or article or website that would guide us how to take DMSO for various cancers? I have the liquid and gel both. But are too strong so need to know how to dilute and what with. And how to drink it? A tablespoon with water? And can it be taken if also taking Nattokinase?
Thank you . Appreciate your work and time! I hope you can publish it and print it. Some.friends literally just need a book to sit down and read in order.to understand. Then need guidance.how to proceed.
"I highlighted how urologists initially would not touch Lupron..." In all fairness, urologists are surgeons, and for a long time there were no even oncologists to treat prostate cancer, since there were literally no drugs to offer prostate cancer patients, but Lupron and Casadex. And as surgeons, urologist are/were uncomfortable with prescribing long term drugs, since it's not their area of expertise. It all changed when the next generation of oncology drugs for prostate cancer came on the market, but Lupron/analogies are still holding their own to suppress testosterone in between more active treatments. A lot depends in treating of prostate cancer on an oncologist's expertise.
Cascadex and Lupron cause prostate cancer sufferers to develop osteporosis, dementia, cardiovascular disease, and hot flashes. They feel so miserable and are so sick on these hormone blockers that they wish they were dead....
40+ years ago, prostate cancer was treated with high dose estrogen and the men felt very good. Their prostate cancer were controlled, their bones,hearts and minds were strong,
Today prostate cancer cancer treated with beta 17 estradiol, and testosterone. Quality of life and overall health would be much much better.
There is also much evidence that Ivermectin, Menbendazole or Fenbendazole, are highly effective at reducing PSA levels and prostate cancer.
Many many options other than pharmaceutical poison exist, that create health and well-being, not death and disease.
I would read the books and blogs mentioned. There is much research on these although the majority of it is in vitro, plus anecdotal evidence being collected by treating doctors.
From in-vitro to phase I trial, it's a long, long/often futile way. Tons of hypotheticals in "books and blogs," "anecdotal evidence" by docs, doesn't make it viable or true.
Yes, some do. There are metastatic prostate cancer patients, who spend on supplements $700-1000/month, and still end up dead and broke. There are tons of people who would take money from desperate people. Supplements are not regulated, drugs are.
It's always surprises me how people, who know nothing, feel that they got a lot to "share." Please fight the urge:-)
Angelina, we are mostly dealing with regulated, repurposed drugs here. Often repurposed drug cocktails. Still, there is none of the kind of "evidence" of the type that many doctors demand, and probably never will be. When most doctors say "There is no evidence", what they usually mean is that there are mo placebo controlled, double blind, large scale trials on humans, preferably studies which are repeated many times. Now, say a drug like Ivermectin actually was quite beneficial for a new purpose like cancer Since it can not be patented and make a drug company billions, who is going to pay for these very expensive large, double blind studies on humans? For the most part, no one, so they will never be done. Doctors will never have "evidence" regarding these drugs. In fact, if a drug company was willing to spend the money to study these off patent drugs, and the studies showed the IVM (or whatever) was great, then it would cost the drug companies megabucks beyond the cost of the study on humans. Because this cheap drug would compete with their drug that costs 20K per MONTH, as my my Erleada, Orgovix and Xgeva do. (thank goodness I am off of all but the Xgeva, though they wanted me on them for life) ............... So, we are not likely to ever see the studies which most doctors will accept for evidence....................................... But not being doctors, we don't need such high levels of evidence, particularly for drugs already proven safe for humans decades ago. Since they are safe and cheap, all we need is a few in Vitro and in Vivo studies that repeatedly show strong enough evidence that would make any reasonable person say "Hey, I think I want to give that cheap, safe drug a shot. Especially since my docs have not given me much of a shot at all, even if I take their barbaric and harmful treatments. And perhaps a few by chance discoveries, such as someone notices that if 80,000 patients are on an old drug, they are far less likely to die of cancer than an equal number of patients who are not taking that drug. Causing curious scientists to take a look at that drug............................................ And now we have thousands of testimonials and small clinical trials that are mostly showing great benefit, better than anything most doctors have to offer us.. More every day. And for most us, that is plenty of evidence and enough to make a personal trial a reasonable gamble. It was certainly good enough evidence for me when I was diagnosed stage 4 prostate cancer over 3 years ago, and a now NED. I read up on my miserable testosterone blocking drugs to that I have done far, far better than usual, and done so from the very beginning. I can't prove anything, but my GREAT progress makes me highly suspicious that some of my repurposed drugs, working in synergy with each other and my megabuck prescription drugs, have got me to a much better place than I was expecting. Still no radiation, no chemo, just surgery 11 years ago and when it failed, and I went to stage 4, just the testosterone blockers PLUS my own added concoction. My PSA went from doubling every couple of months(prognosis very poor) to undetectable in 30 days, and has remained so for over 3 years. My doctors have seemed quite surprised. As they should be. But they don't know about my re-purposed drug cocktail.
@BKinMS - I would have to repeat that in-vitro & in-vivo studies are far, far away from a phase Ia trial in humans. NCI can run trials on re-purposed drugs as you describe, they have the network and capacity to do so. Also , the Principal Investigators initiated studies could be run of re-purposed drugs. DoD subsidizes prostate cancer trials. Capsaicin from chili peppers is known to keep PSA down. I don't understand, how 11 years after "just" a surgery, your care providers let your cancer jump to stage IV without any treatment offered in between? Nothing like Enzalutamide, Abiraterone, Apalutamide, etc? I am glad that whatever you are doing is working, but maybe there is a point of sharing it with your health care provider?
Well, I know something...a lot of something, in fact. My husband has been diagnosed, since 2015, with pros cancer. It's now stage 4 mets. He has suffered terribly with the conventional treatment. Lupron, along with all the chemo/radiation, did indeed give him weak bones (resulting in broken hip), hot flashes, heart condition, hypothyroidism, brain fog/short term memory loss...etc. He had to quit the lupron because of how miserable it made him feel - hot flashes so bad, he soaked the bed.
Yes, desperate ppl spend money on supplements, etc...they also give in to all the fear-mongering from conventional docs, who make a shit-ton of money off the "treatments"- chemo drugs are some of the most lucrative. One session of iv chemo for my husband was billed at $15,000...some are much higher than that. Oncology is one of highest paid specialties.
And after all that chemo/radiation, my husband is a skeleton, who won't be walking this earth much longer, and his quality of life is pure shit. As he says, the only reason he's still alive is because of the "alternative" therapies I've researched, and applied. He'd have been dead yrs ago, because of the aggressiveness of this particular pros cancer (thanks, uncle sam, for the agent orange you exposed my husband to in Vietnam, along with other service members and the Vietnamese ppl...and phuck off).
@Moe - I'm very sorry to hear about your husband. But you also pointed out, your husband lived 10 years after his diagnosed, while even in the early 2000s, his life expectancy would be around 6 months.
Chemotherapy is usually used very late in the course of prostate cancer treatments, while buying time/quality of life on a plethora of oral drugs available. I'm not arguing that the outrageous costs of chemotherapy, but most of chemo costs are charged by the hospitals for usage of premises, equipment, nursing, etc.
I do understand you are upset, so understandably so, and there are prostate cancer patients have bad reaction to Lupron, but there are substitutes. Chance are, your husband is probably treated in VA system hospitals, and they're notoriously bad on services and care. Again, I'm very sorry about your husband.
Thank you. Yes, he has so far lived 10 yrs after diagnosis mainly because of the natural therapies I've researched and put him on. Even his doctors admit that.
He is not treated at VA hospitals...he's had very bad treatment in the past, won't go back. He's got his own doctors, and a large, modern hospital system in the state of Washington.
He's also had multiple oral/iv chemo drugs, all with horrible side effects.
Six months life expectancy with an early prostate cancer diagnosis? Nope...pros cancer with early diagnosis typically has a very good outcome...unless it's an aggressive type, such as caused by agent orange.
He was given lupron injections and an oral chemo drug immediately after his initial round of radiation, which occurred right after diagnosis...so, not late in the course of treatment.
That's kind of laughable that you're excusing the costs of chemo...they're (hospitals, oncologists, pharma, insurance) making money hand over fist on these cancer treatments. The cancer industry is a huge cash cow.
I'm very well familiar with prostate cancer treatment, and I know Washington prostate oncology scene well. I didn't say 6 month life expectancy for an "early prostate cancer diagnosis," did I? Prostate cancer is a "long playing" cancer, and chemo is given usually at the end, not at the diagnosis. I'm not "excusing" the costs of oncology treatment! I find it outrageous. I was simply explaining how such costs compile. The US oncology patients are buying drugs through the Canadian online pharmacies, where the same drugs cost 10 times less than in the US. You really need to read what I actually wrote vs. putting words in my mouth and jumping to conclusions.
This is very true (in-vitro data not transferring to human results) and one reason why I do not discuss a lot of cancer treatments that are widely discussed elsewhere.
That’s so funny, this is one of my favorite substacks, but I never noticed the actual title, I compartmentalize it in my brain only as “A Midwestern Doctor”. Now I feel silly.
There's a chance it can make you excessively anticoagulated, but in practice this rarely comes up (e.g., many people I asked didn't think it was an issue but I've gotten a few reports of increased nose bleeds). As such, main advice is if you do both concurrently to monitor blood coagulation.
Do you mind me asking what compelled you to use the DMSO along with the apixaban? My husband is on Eliquis and I have been wondering what the interaction would likely be.
Hi! I was hoping to get some input into a situation I have with a family member. This is her third time getting breast cancer (this last time it is stage 4) with metastasis to her hip.
She’s undergone everything under the sun, even as far as going to Austria to get integrative treatments to boost her immune system prior to surgery.
That DID reduce the size of her breast lump, and then she had it surgically removed. The second time it came back she underwent chemotherapy.
This time she just started radiation to her hip and neck/breast lymph nodes. The oncologists are telling her that there is no evidence that radiation can prolong her life, but are still recommending her to do it. They have had her on Verzenio for the last 9 months (which after a while stops being effective). She will stop the Verzenio during the radiation treatments (which she is undergoing now and last till November) and then will continue it again.
I have told her about DMSO and she is willing to try it. Currently, she’s using it topically prior to radiation treatments (25% strength), though it ends up being longer than 20 minutes between the application of DMSO and the actual radiation treatments.
It seems that the Verzenio is starting to lose its effectiveness in her, so I was hoping that the DMSO might increase its effectiveness, but am not certain as to what dose to advise to her. Just topical? A gram orally daily? I’m just not sure. Plus, it’s unclear what the DMSO might do, whether it could increase the toxicity of the drug (however I’m leaning toward it being protective of the potential adverse effects of Verzenio, specifically inflammation of the lung and blood clots). I am almost positive that sharing her addition of DMSO to the oncologists would provoke unaccountable levels of horror, which is unfortunate because if she needed to reduce her Verzenio dose due to increased toxicity we wouldn’t be able to share that either.
Any tips or ideas would be most appreciated.
Also, I have read over the D-hematoxylin article and was wondering if it would be worth it to try that as well, though the only thing going for her in that respect is that she is unvaccinated. It seems that mixture doesn’t do as well with solid tumors, plus she’s already had chemotherapy. This would be a Hail Mary for her. Everything else has failed and modern medicine is hardly helpful.
If I’m receiving gemzar and abraxane from a conventional hospital that doesn’t practice alternative therapies can I drink a 70% solution of dmso right before the chemo is administered? Should I continue it for 5 days with 2 days off?
If I’m receiving gemzar and abraxane from a conventional hospital can I take DMSO before going in for the treatment? Or should I take it right before the chemo is administered? How much? What percentage? Thank you.
I have a few questions. How should oral DMSO be spaced between meals? Is it advisable to take it on an empty stomach, or should it be taken with food? Additionally, how should DMSO be combined with Hematoxylin? Which form of Hematoxylin is best to buy—powder, crystals, or solution? What would be the correct ratio, and is this mixture intended solely for topical application, or can it also be used orally or intramuscularly? I’m specifically asking in the context of basal cell carcinoma and IPMN pancreatic cysts.
My second question concerns which of these combinations would be most effective for treating IPMN pancreatic cysts, which are precancerous, as well as cysts in the breasts, in the pineal gland, and syringomyelia in the spine? Which route/routes would be best? And what remedies mixed with DMSO? I would be really grateful for your answers.
puzzling question: studied about getting a friend some good quality dmso cream w aloe for his painful back and knees, he's 79. before I ordered some, I asked AI if dmso was ok for a diabetic. stern warning came! might interfere with insulin. Said be cautious and speak with a doctor first! Yikes. What do you think? Hate to abandon this great product if it could help him.
Wondering if OK to rub 99% pure pharmaceutical grade DSMO on upper right back, under ribs, (it's my right kidney) and would that be OK?
20% chance not cancer, urologist says, and 80% chance it is. If it is cancer, they're recommending radiation as pulmonologist says I probably wouldn't survive abdominal surgery for that. (Saw all your articles about DSMO and radiation too, thankyou.)
Was rubbing it on, didn't bother me, then read that it might not be good for kidneys!!??
I am trying to access “evaluation of dimethyl sulfoxide therapy in chronic respiratory insufficiency of bronchopulmonary origin”, which was published in 1975 in the Annals of the New York Academy of sciences. It’s January 1975: volume 243, issue 1. It’s a 500 page publication with many articles on DMSO.
Can anyone help me access the entirety of the article. All I can access is the first page, even though my university allows me to see just about everything I want to see with regard to medical journals.
Doctor, what is your opinion of Andreas Kalcker (Biophysical researcher in electromolecular medicine and chlorine dioxide (ClO2) developer of its advanced form, CDS) and his use of Chlorine Dioxide Solution (ClO2) in treating cancers and other illnesses?https://open.substack.com/pub/drkalcker/p/the-cds-protocols
I am a physician with 43 years of practice so far. I told a fellow MD about the DMSO I had read in your articles. He applied DMSO to a physician who had intractable headaches and somehow cured what none of the neurologists could fix. No more headaches and no further treatment. This patient MD was going to quit work because of the headaches! I have many patients now who have benefited from your great work in putting these articles together. Thanks from all.
Great article , thank you. I have a back injury , spondylolisthesis and a hip that is bone on bone . I had the other hip replaced 5 years ago and would like to save this hip and my back from surgery if possible. I am In some pain, but control it with aspirin and niacin mixture ( learned about this on Dr. Mercola and Georgi Dinkov articles) I found your information promising, but felt a bit of a let down when I read that regular DMSO topical application might not be so effective for the hip. How do I go about getting the DMSO injections? And can they be self done? I would appreciate thorough instructions, where to locate injectible DMSO etc. and maybe some sources of where I can find this service if it can't be self applied. I live in the southwest corner of Texas, bordering New Mexico and Chihuahua Mexico. Thank you
Question… my daughter has mastitis and has been on antibiotics… which are not helping is it safe to use DMSO topically? I’m thinking yes and maybe bottle feed formula for a few days ? Please weigh in on your opinion. I promise not to consider this as medical advice and just your opinion. On another note I did use it topically on my son for hidradenitis suppurative and it did get it under control🙏🏻. As soon as it starts to flare I use it, so thank you!
Dr. Kory sent me to read your article on the uses of DMSO for Cardiac Amyloidosis. I read your literature. Now, my main focus is find out what dosage works? I have had 2 autoimmunes, PMR and Raynauds. If you can shed any light, I would certainly appreciate your assistance. I did buy the DMSO on left. Thanks and have a great day.
If there are clinics in the US or Central/South America that utilize the D-hematoxylin, are you able to share them here? This reader is in a late-stage cncr situation, standard-of-care therapies have not worked, have already started with dmso and antihelmintics applied topically.
I’ve bought mine from Amazon. I keep a small glass-dropper bottle of 50/50 dmso/filtered water on hand for topical use. Your personal sensitivity determines your % dilution. Some people drink a tbsp in 2 oz of liquid, others do 4 oz of liquid. Because of dmso’s safety, dosage is up to you.
I keep sending messages about where to find DMSO and how to use it as an ovarian cancer patient, but I cannot seem to find where my post ends up or where the answers are someone help me out here
HI-- I have a question about DMSO but do not know where to ask it. I am a medical provider (PA-C) and have read a fair amount regarding DMSO over the past year and have been utilizing the cream for joint pain for years. After reading your incredibly well researched information regarding it I decided to provide IV DMSO for my husband who suffers from somewhat acute onset IPH following covid in 2021 (not vaccinated). We have been trying multiple treatments including daily ivermectin, Boabab, NAD, NAC, glutathione, multiple other supplements and whole food diet, good hydration....along with Bioregualtor and peptide therapy, and even some IV stem cells. He remains on oxygen daily and has signficantly decreased QOL. He now takes ambrisentan, clopidogrel, jardiance, sildenafil, lasix. He got COVID during a 400 mile bike ride across IOWA. No other medical problems except IPH. I presented his case at 2024 IMA conference. We are still hoping to find someone who could maybe help.
Regardless--- I did give him IV DMSO at 0.5 g/Kg of 99% pure DMSO (Pharma grade). First treatment was 3 days ago. No noticable changes thus far. One of the biggest questions (which seems minor but isn't) is the 'offgasing' of the DMSO. SO BAD and strong. We have tried chlorophyll, gargling, tongue scraping, showers and a dose of activated charcoal (between normal meds). It is still present. Do you (or anyone) know of anything that can mitigate the DMSO odor that is SO pungent and persistent? Not even sure it is helping but at this point we are trying everything. It is lasting much longer than the expected 24 hours. Any thoughts or help on any of this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for you incredible insight, intellingence and presentations of these timely topics. I lost my PA job in a level one trauma ED during the 'plandemic' due to being unvaxxed and also for providing Iveremectin, etc for patients. I know do biohacking with peptides/bioregulators and health optimization.
I am still hoping someone can help me with DMSO and potential Ductal Carcinoma. Just wanting to do the right thing in how I apply/ administer it. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
I have now been diagnosed with DCIS ( ductal carcinoma in situation) I will need to have a lumpectomy in the next month or so. Again, any help in how to incorporate DMSO in this process. Thank you in advance!
my brother is dying of an aggressive form of prostate cancer he got after taking the Covid shot.
he has tried using natural remedies and has had some relief but his cancer doctors won't help or even support him because he won't use chemo or radiation drugs - they would rather watch him die then help him. Is there any doctor that can help him live either by using DMSO or some other natural treatment? We are at a loss of what to do and no one seems willing to help.
My brother lives in Western NY State which is part of the problem. Please, anything you could suggest would be helpful. Thanks.
I just had a follow-up mammogram to re- check the calcifications they found in my previous mammogram 6 months prior. This time they found that the calcifications had morphed into an erratic pattern that suggested to them that I need to have a biopsy and a potential lumpectomy.
I am very motivated to try DMSO to restore differentiation to these cells. I need to know the concentration ( currently I have a 70% DMSO to 30% Aloe Vera blend that I use for joint pain).
Also, I would like to know if I can use this orally, topically or both? Thank you in advance for your help with this.
Before knowing about DMSO, I had a BCC removed from my lip. I have a spot now that I’d like to use the 30% ascorbic acid with DMSO topically, but I’m not clear what the 30% means. I already have the DMSO solution 99.995 from DMSO Store and have sodium ascorbate, but I can buy ascorbic acid if the buffered form I have doesn’t work for this. What’s the actual ratios I’d use to make the paste though?
Should I wait a certain amount of time between taking any oral meds/supplements and applying dmso topically? How about when taking dmso orally? I take ivermectin, medbendazole, LDN, propranolol, metformin, berberine, EGCG, Omega 3, K, D, and other things in my protocol from Cancer Care and started dmso in anticipation of radiation soon. I will also start TDM1 chemo again in about 2 weeks. Since my SOC team is not open to even considering this info should I stop using DMSO 24 hours before and 48 hours after chemo to avoid the potential potentiation issues? I believe the chemo only has a half life of 36-48 hours.
So this comment is a bit late & is prompted by a Dr. McCullough’s post just today (4/1/25) on DSMO. My take away was he was not a fan, or, at least not a fan of self administered DSMO. While I personally have not tried any form of DSMO, I seriously considered it for my dog. I believe what you have written about it & have no qualms about trying it should the occasion arise. However, my real purpose in posting this comment (& hope it doesn’t get lost in the delay) is to address the art of medicine, so to speak, as obviously there is a different take on something by 2 people who I respect their experience & expertise. This comment is also in light of the tragic demise of a 1 YO right after being given a slew of “prescribed” vaccines & the death of the child who had measles.
The real culprit here IMHO is not the circumstances involving the treatment or disease but the disconnect between the physician & him/herself. After all I believe the cornerstone statement of all healing practices is ‘physician heal thyself’. Inference being that the disease doesn’t really exist in the patient but in the mind of the physician, meaning that patients go to doctors not for some therapeutic, but for the consciousness of the doctor. But as long as we perpetuate the belief that healing is in a drug or procedure, then not only a the patients cut off from a cure but so is the doctor. Your articles on this therapeutic struck me as much as cultivating the awareness of healing than promoting a miracle compound.
Thank you. Regarding the article. I can't view most of the article because he pay-walled it. That said from what I can see:
1) The systematic review he's citing said there's no real toxicity with DMSO
2) He is correct; no one has done a study on if it treats long COVID or COVID vaccine injuries because most of the research on DMSO was done long before COVID existed. I've only found a few studies where it was used in combination with something else to treat acute COVID.
3) In earlier studies, DMSO has been shown to treat a variety of symptoms which overlap with COVID vaccine/long covid symptoms.
4) I know people who felt DMSO helped either of those, but since the data is extremely lacking, I have made a point to not present DMSO as a cure for either.
After I posted the DMSO series people have been posting articles saying DMSO is bad and then paywalling the material to get subscribers
I wonder if DMSO, given its effects on various cancers, has a similar effect on those same cancers that are also correlated to having arisen after the covid shots? Also, has there been in report of long-covid being helped by DMSO? I don't recall reading that in any comments or elsewhere.

My understanding is PET scans are frequently used to study cardiac perfusion [I've had one for this] .. how diagnostic are they, how problematic are they, and would DMSO applied topically or via 'drinking it' before hand help
Hi, you don't mention chronic lympthastic leukemia as one of the blood cancers that it may work on but it may be because that's a rare one. Do you know if there have been studies with DMSO and that type of leukemia?
Can anyone give advice or personal experiences of using DMSO for gout tophi on a big toe.
I have been advised to have surgery but have also been told that the after effects can often be worse than the problem, plus, I will possibly need a skin graft for the wound and at 79 it is not something I want to get into.
Thank you in advance and any input would be much appreciated.
As someone who uses DMSO but has no medical knowledge whatsoever, I would be most grateful if A Mid Western Doctor or anyone else with medical/pharmaceutical expertise could provide any information or responses to the considerable list of health problems listed on the Substack of Geoff Pain Phd, supposedly caused by the use of DMSO.
I feel he was biased by his past lab training (which occurred at a time when the FDA was trying to convince everyone DMSO was extremely dangerous and labs needed to make sure lab chemicals did not absorb into the body via DMSO).
Today is March 24, I found the article in my emails and paid an annual subscription fee. My husbsnd and I have been using DMSO but am needing more information. Plus we have a cow with Cancer in her eye socket and we’d live to save her. Thank you for the effort you put into sharing this information- we are behind you!!
Sodium phenylbutyrate is a prodrug and a prominent MD in Texas doses at 10-12 grams orally daily. Sodium phenylbutyrate (SPB) as a prodrug, means the liver changes it into the active drug, sodium phenylacetate (SPA). SPA has a large number of published journal articles if put into a search engine with "cancer". SPB can be given orally as the active SPA complexes glutamine and so SPA cannot be given orally. This is a glutamine depletion compound and some aggressive cancers metabolize glutamine actively.
I starting using the DMSO last night. I got the tingling and itching where I applied it like expected. Afterwards, I could feel it moving through my body and having an effect on different areas, but the best part was I could feel my sinuses opening up and I could breath better. I had the best sleep last night, I didn't want to get up this morning. Today, my husband and I are noticing that water tastes different to us. It has this horrible after taste now. I haven't noticed a change in taste with anything else. I've had my taste change after a parasite cleanse so I know how that sense can respond changes in the body but wondered if this was common side effect and if it goes away over time.
Off topic, but necessary? MWD, could you pls consider a research paper on PDE5 inhibitor use and malignant melanoma? Believe the Big Pharma machine is in overdrive on this cash cow...
Realistically I am not going to have time to get to that, but if you can read between the lines, I think most of the key point are conveyed in the answer https://www.perplexity.ai/ gives.
Many thanks and much appreciation for the kindness of a reply. All of us need to vet AI results carefully and repeatedly. One of the main talking heads for melanoma related PDE5 inhibitors being caused by increased sun exposure is Dr. Stacy Loeb. Very brief research shows that doctor is one of the "we are real science" and we must silence the "science deniers" crowd. That is what piqued my interest on this topic...
Quick question. I hope someone can answer. I have been following this site and decided to buy DMSO for a number of issues. I checked DMSO store.com and Jacob Lab. Jacob lab has an 8 Oz. glass bottle at 70% for $60.00. DMSOstore doesn't mention 70% or any other % so I assume they are all 100%. They also mention low odor and pharmagrade, and even have mention of different fragrances. So are they all worthwhile and as efficient as the liquid undiluted kind? Sorry, but after covid vax, my concentration is terrible!
Personally I only purchase 99.9% pure. Any odor reduction is probably bs. If I want added essential oils, I can add them - I’ve become very untrusting of marketing! I’m in the sticks - I buy my dmso from Amazon.
Just throwing this out there, since I read DMSO can be used with spinal issues - my spouse was just diagnosed with a spinal arachnoid cyst. Does anyone know if this may be potentially beneficial for that?
Thank you again AMD! Interesting about cancer. I am trying on a spot on my husband to see what it will do. He has had so many skin cancers not melanoma. Also I do believe I it’s working on his back pain issue.
I have been treating myself and my wife with oral DMSO. One advantage is that I don't notice her garlic breath as I have the same thing and the odor sensitive cells are saturated, so I am insensitive to DMSO breath.
1 tsp per day for each of us still uses up the 8oz bottles from the DMSO store, available at Amazon for $26. Each shipment from Amazon includes an invitation for one to visit the DMSO store. I just bought a gallon for $160 that will allow me to refill several 8oz bottles for $10 each. Buy the small bottles and test diluted samples topically before trying highly diluted oral doses of 1 tsp per day. I use 1 tsp in 6 oz of fruit juice. It still has an oily taste.
I stopped the decline of early onset Alzheimer's in my wife by luck. She developed some horrid bed sores. I broke out the emergency use drugs, veterinarian grade pharmaceuticals, ivermectin and fenbendazole. Available through links at "https://substack.com/@2ndsmartestguyintheworld"
The month by month decline stopped. Way too late. She is bed bound and I have to feed her by hand. Stable for 18 months. Eats well, better hygiene, has her left with no sores or irritated pink skin. So, now I am trying to help her brain cells caught in "cell danger response" to wake up. Thus, the 1 tsp of DMSO per day. It is perfectly legally and morally acceptable for me to do something that doctors cannot. I am using gentle sexual stimulation to increase brain function. She babbles more. Still not understandable. Hip and leg motion does prove stimulation. I don't know if this will improve brain function over time. It has improved her acceptance of changing her Depends.
For myself, oral DMSO is helping wrist pain caused by repetitive stress. My left wrist has healed, I have added a better wrist brace to avoid irritating my right wrist. Without the brace, simple things like screwing a bottle cap on irritates it. Without DMSO, it hurts more, meaning more irritation.
My dog had a very aggressive cancer last march(exactly a year ago) in lungs throat and mouth palate and gums. Veterinary people at Cornell said he has about a month before they recommend being put down . We Did the Fenben and ivermectin which destroyed the tumors in those areas . They literally fell out some he ate we think . He still has a large lump on his upper right gum which is still there . We are still doing the ivermectin and Fenben but it hasn’t gone away and hasn’t gotten worse . Could dmso be applied topically at the lump and oral be administered? Hes a Rottweiler Shepard about 95 pounds 13 -14 years old. Appreciate any help.
I have had mixed results with topical DMSO. My main concern is a tiny "scab" on my leg between my shin and calf that I have had for 2 years. I have no idea how I got it, almost looks like a bug bite. All my other wounds heal extremely fast. It has not caused any new symptoms other than itching at times. Tried all sorts of things to get rid of it. It "flairs" up at times and begins to itch and becomes raised a bit (I have noticed this happens when I eat sugar or drink alcohol) but most of the time it is flat and does not itch. I started applying 70% DMSO gel w/aloe once daily in December 2024. I used it for several weeks daily, then I think I stopped using it for about a week, and have since then been using it daily Mon-Fri and not using it on the weekends. I have no itching or stinging when I apply it to this spot. I have also had absolutely no improvement :( I also used the same formulation on my face...bad idea....I did not follow the advice...was very swollen for an evening to the point where I thought I really screwed up my face but I added some aloe and it was fine in the morning. I saw an improvement in my skin with one use but I have not tried it since. I also applied it to my back and shoulders that get sore from stress, I would say the pain was about 90% gone. It took about 15 minutes for the pain relief to kick in. Have used it several times on my hubby's back and shoulder when he has pain after jiu jitsu, he says it helps significantly. I have avoided taking orally because I am a smoker. I also find it difficult to use because you have to wait until it dries and everywhere except for my leg it itches/burns/tingles like crazy and I have to add a lot of aloe, in other words, for me, I don't feel that it is very user friendly. Was trying to avoid a trip to the dermatologist (and a possible subsequent rabbit hole I'd rather not go down) but I am not having any luck with DMSO on my leg.
Apply topically to skin spreading thinly for better absorption. Recipe suggests taking 2 tsp oral of DMSO 30 minutes prior to treatment. I’ve only used 1 tsp at this point. Opinion?
So to kill cancer stem cells I have found and use this recipe: MMS1 chlorine dioxide and activator (15 drops cd + 1 tsp of activator. (Wait 3 minutes) 1 1/4 of DMSO (stir and wait 3 minutes)
Thank you for the information!! Regarding using vitamin C and DMSO for basil cell carcinomas...would you mix the vitamin c and dmso and apply topically? And if so what vitamin c would you recommend for this process?
I mixed DMSO with some powdered vitamin C and added a bit of matcha to form a paste. I would use it about 3x a day and put a bandaid or cotton swab to protect it. It works!
each DSMO article refers to the "final part....." where information as to sourcing DSMO and how to use and source will be provided. When will this be available?
"A 1999 trial of 25 patients found intravesical DMSO treated bladder cancer and that if a one biomarker was then negative following therapy, they were much less likely to have a recurrence."
"This study correlated biomarkers expressed in tumor and epithelial field with clinical response and recurrence. Of 25 bladder cancer patients, 11 received 6 weeks of intravesical Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG), and 14 were treated weekly with intravesical dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) for 4 weeks to further modulate biomarker expression. G-actin, DNA aneuploidy, and p300 tumor antigen were evaluated by quantitative fluorescence image analysis on uroepithelial cells from bladder wash samples prior to and immediately following treatment. Excluding patients who did not respond to BCG (and who had persistently abnormal p300 and DNA markers), recurrence correlated with persistent abnormal G-actin findings. Of patients who were G-actin negative following therapy, only 25% recurred during follow-up in contrast to 67% in patients who were positive (p < 0.03 by Fisher's exact test). The odds ratio for recurrence was 6.00 (95% confidence interval: 1.3-28.6). Cytosolic G-actin levels can be an important intermediate end point marker for chemoprevention."
A lot of times when cancer is treated, certain blood work values are measured. They found when DMSO dropped G-actin, it normally was a sign the cancer was going to go away.
My husband has very aggressive prostate cancer and we wanted to ask his medical oncologist about DMSO but it appears it isn't FDA approved. How do we find a doctor who can talk to us and maybe prescribe it to him. Sounds so interesting with so much potential for him. He also heads to radiation treatment in 6 weeks and the pre-radiation treatments sounded perfect for him. Any assistance would be so appreciated. Thank you
Does DMSO resolve Reflux/GERD? My husband has had it for a year w/o treating it and it's gotten very bad w/o doing anything about it. He started drinking DMSO, 1 tsp/day for his shoulder after topical gel didn't help. And lo and behold he was able to lay lying down for the all night that very 1st night! Then a 2nd. But it wasn't the case every night after that. Anyway, the odor was SO VERY BAD he had to brake due to work travel but will start up again.
1 - Just curious about DMSO working for reflux?
2 - Is there anything to do about the odor? It smells up the house and the car...from 1 tsp, lol.
1) I have not heard of this, but I could see it helping a lot if it increased parasympathetic function and that led to more stomach acid being released.
2) My best guess is that it's due to reductive stress in the body or gut dysbiosis or excess toxicity in the body. Solutions people use include:
•Wait for it to go away (often it eventually does over course of treatment)
•Time doses so odor is not socially detrimental.
•Do a general detox process
•Fix gut health
•Also take an oxidizing agent like chlorine dioxide (which may make DMSO less potent but it's not clear)
“For example, ...cited a 1968 patent that stated DMSO had helped a significant number of people with ..., peptic ulcers, ... The other gastrointestinal studies are as follows:”
“•A randomized double-blind study of 363 consecutive patients...100% of those who received DMSO or allopurinol recovered. Additionally, the one year relapse rate was 7% in those who took DMSO... Note: this study also discussed the use of DMSO to treat peptic and duodenal ulcers.”
Sooo, if he has ulcers he'll definitely start DMSO up again and if he doesn't maybe he'll still start it up since he had initial results laying flat through the night instead of having to wait until 3-4 am to lay flat, from a propped up position.
It’s a funny idea for a patent, sort of like patenting lemonade, but I’m glad I came across the honey/DMSO formulas/ratios he outlines as they make DMSO less itchy topically and more palatable orally.
Kudos to AMD for an outstanding comprehensive review! For me personally, however, it raises more questions than answers. I had GE junction cancer (adenocarcinoma), had a complete gastrectomy, then months later a metastatic node was detected attached to my left lung, which was surgically removed just days ago. I am now following the Marik/Hope protocols for killing any stem cells that may be floating around, to prevent a further recurrence. Can DMSO help with that, specifically? If so, should I use it internally or externally? If the latter, where would I apply it? I have no idea whether or how I might beneficially use it at this juncture. So much more work needs to be done on this promising cancer-fighting agent.
I am trying to avoid claiming anything I can't back up with existing evidence which is why I avoided stating a lot of things that were strongly implied by the data.
That said:
•There's no real risk or cost in using DMSO (assuming its not mixed with anything toxic) whereas many other options entail one or both of those.
•All of this will make a lot more sense after I put out part 2.
good question. I would guess quite long, but I'd like to hear what MWD says about it. One thing I've wondered about is exposure to light. My 99% DMSO came in a clear glass bottle, but the 70% came in brown glass. Does light break it down?
When AMD publishes a long post, sometimes it's good to break it down for comprehension. Go to the post's end and read up, and your question will be answered.
Thanks ,a welcome addiction to Paul Marik,s work on repurposed and non-convential treatments . I tried oral dose of DMSO, get a headache, maybe juice is better than water. I am having plastic surgery , do we apply 100 percent DMSO on the open wound
Caution on using 100percent DMSO topically. I find I can't tolerate anything higher than a 20% DMSO solution. Other folks can take a much higher percentage. The burning and itching are too much! The author did state in another comment that open wounds are too sensitive for most mere mortals, but suggested using it on the perimeter of the wound.
I use 99% pure topically (gel from Tractor Supply) and it itched at first, but now a week later, no itching after using it about twice a day. It just depends. But it has worked very well for knee area pain. No redness or skin peeling.
I appreciate how much time you spent on this. I wish there was more research or experience with it for solid tumor cancers. In addition to the actual research you outlined, do you have a general recommendation for someone with a solid tumor cancer, or someone who is trying to avoid recurrence? Maybe for internal use, the "start with 1 tsp/day and go from there" from a previous post?
Everything I know was detailed here (minus what will be in the hemoxylin post).
I've had numerous people share they took oral DMSO for decades and none of them reported having any health issues (including cancers) but that's not the most solid data to go off here.
My mother died of breast cancer and it was really awful. I knew if I ever had cancer, I would never do any of the toxic drugs, surgery, etc. In 2018, I found a lump in my breast and a Naturopath said she believed it was malignant and it needed to be surgically removed and I first needed a mammogram, etc., etc. I left her office and did The Incurables Program from American Botanical Pharmacy. You can read the book online for free: https://issuu.com/americanbotanicalpharmacy/docs/there_are_no_incurable_diseases_by_dr_richard_schu
It is a very intensive detoxification and juice flushing program. I had to do it 3 times, but the tumor finally disappeared. The Naturopath noted it was 2". The medical cartel arrested Dr. Schulze in the 1990s, not because anyone ever complained about him, but because he was healing people of ALL the incurable diseases. He got off on a technicality, but closed his practice and taught in Europe for several years. He now just has ABP. His own healing story is amazing; I think it's on the website. He used to have hundreds of testimonials and videos on the website, but during Covid, the FDA made him take them down. Such a loss.
I think it's important to know that there are alternatives to standard medical practices for cancer. It's about stopping doing what made you sick, and beginning new, healthy programs that will heal you and cleanse your body. We are under an onslaught of toxicity today. Some people won't want to change their diet, their exercise, etc., but all of what you eat and think and do is what creates your state of health or disease.
It's wonderful that DMSO can be used for cancer, but I think it is equally important to evaluate one's lifestyle and make improvements. If you can't give up alcohol, or sugar, or junk food, or a bad relationship, how is the healing that DMSO provided you with, going to keep you healthy into the future? Disease is generally a way of telling you that you need to make some positive changes.
Thank you for your research and work towards educating and helping people. ♥
"...but all of what you eat and think and do is what creates your state of health or disease."
Amazing comment to an equally amazing piece (again!) by MWD!
Just this morning at the place where I worship God publicly, the message was loud and clear about Divine Love and Light and Life/Energy, it's there for you total and complete healing and full restoration. (Greek Orthodox Christian, on the writings of St Gregory Palamas, known for his defense of God as Essence/Energy, also bodily postures/breathing. Yes, there are Christians who believe and practice this today!)
Midwestern Doc agrees with you in his article at the top
"Her" article. 😜
"His" is the proper form in English when the identify of the person is "unknown."
Mercola says “she” writes articles for him, so we now know.
Mercola stated she wrote for him, you said that's what he said.
This is fun. Thanks Doc,
Time for another shot of DMSO, I am unsure of what method of ingestion this time requires. Let me find those damn blue suppositories and try a double injection.
Be well all.
I raelly dno't crae. The corrcetion of the other psoter's Englsih with the sutpdi face is uncllaed for and rahtre isnutling. Myabe the ohter psoter deosn't read Mercococola's stfuf. And tehn, myabe Mercolacocoa mdae a tpyo.
This is not bad, did you do it yourself or hire congress. Well done.
I read somewhere laughter was the best medicine, so off to get stoned. I will think happy thoughts for most everyone except those who inflict pain and suffering and the vocabulary popo.
Why did you reply correcting my English then? Thought that is an interesting fact, that’s all.
Because he knows women go back to Genesis 1: 1 and a man is crucified for going back 10 minutes.
You should try Essiac tea. It's really amazing stuff. https://remedies.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/EssiacHnbk_2020.pdf
Yes, I tried to get my mom to drink Essiac. I drank it for a while, but I don't believe it would work in today's world as a stand alone therapy. Too many poisons from too many sources. Much of cancer also has to do with your relationship with yourself and the internal dialog you have with yourself. I finally figured out that the thing I had in common with my mom was her negative way of thinking. You can take all the herbs or DMSO in the world, but I don't think that will heal your disease if you don't love yourself and your life. So much more to disease than just the physical. I had to rebuild myself from the ground up and I was already eating organic food and exercising. I did not fit the physical profile of a cancer patient. Emotional yes, physical no. Cheers!
“…if you don’t love yourself and your life..”
Thank you for this info! I remember my mom's radiated skin back around 1971. She was pretty much healed .It took 25 years till it metastasized to her bones. Her pcp missed it for too long.
Well said, Carol! I believe that most illness and cancers (parasites, fungal, toxins, etc) are caused by imbalances in your body. Important to make sure your liver is functioning well and do a liver detox and support. Do vegetable juicing and stop eating sugars, breads, rice, pasta, alcohol, dairy products and most fruits. And check your pH balance via urine. Cancers, parasites, etc. thrive on sugars and don't like an alkaline environment.
And thanks for the link on Dr Richard Schulze, I'm reading it now.
Thank you for all the detail you provided, especially the book info.
Where can I find dosing information and also where to source the proper DMSO here in Scotland?
I am in England and buy mine online from Regency Organics
Either read A Midwestern Doctor's columns on Substack; you can read almost the whole articles for free or check out Yummy Doctor or buy her book, Healing with DMSO: The Complete Guide to Safe and Natural Treatments..., by Amandha Vollmer. She has quite a few free videos on her website. yummy.doctor/video/
Our experience, so far, at 82 and 84....
My wife and I each take a teaspoon of 100% DMSO twice daily. To me it just tastes mildly sweet mixed in 2 oz of water. To my wife that is very objectionable but she finds it tolerable mixed in 2 oz pomegranate juice.
I bought a gallon of DMSO from Amazon/DMSOStore.com and rebottled it in 5 used red wine bottles (green glass for light protection stored in a dark closet). It is ***WAY*** less expensive by the gallon. Wine bottle caps are of uncertain material so I put a double layer of LDPE film under the cap (where it is only exposed to DMSO gas anyway since I never tip the bottles with the cap on).
We dispense it daily from an LDPE "Wash Bottle":
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MQTZJY6?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_3
My wife has not noticed any changes but my tinnitus is variously reduced between 20 and 80%. One night I woke up out of a sound sleep and thought, "What was that sound?" On reflection it was the sound of silence - NO tinnitus. But it returned in the morning. I'll continue to experiment.
I also use 100% DMSO mixed equal parts with decolorized iodine on my toenail fungus every night. In two months it is notably better but I expect that to be a long road.
Finally, shooting pain from peripheral neuropathy wakes me up some nights. I paint my soles with 100 % dmso every other night, cover with LDPE wrap, put on socks and go to bed. No shooting pains!
Last night I twisted a knee making the bed. Today I slathered on 100% DMSO, covered with LDPE wrap, wrapped with a loose ACE bandage, and went for a slow half-hour walk. Burned for 20 or so minutes. Then burning gone. Pain gone.
Great stuff!!
I bought Glad Cling-N-Seal which is BPA free and the best I could find at the time. I will be changing to National Value Plastic Wrap which the maker's website says is BPA, PVC, and plasticizer free. I further test them it by putting a layer over the top of a mason jar with a small amount of DMSO inside, screw on the band, and turn upside down for a week or two. If the film does not stretch, bulge, discolor or leak I figure I am good to go.
I just discovered an "Additive-Free Food Wrap 4 Roll Set from Japan" at https://en.horizonfarms.jp/products/nf523
I will see if it can be ordered direct. If anyone has Japanese connections, please help.
I wrap in organic parchment and a rubber band. Where it also needs moisture kept in, I then put plastic wrap around it. This works particularly well for cheese as it needs to breathe, but not too much.
Parchment may have many of the same problems as food wrap. For a listing of surface treatments for parchment go to:
https://www.perplexity.ai/search/does-cooking-parchment-paper-h-EYiE0XbpRyezSOUsswXUCQ
Thanks. I checked it out. The stuff I use is very safe and also good for the envionment.
Toe fungus can also be a sign of poor circulation, so your internal use should cover that, but if also add a high quality 100% pure tea tree oil.
Also try oil of oregano on toenail fungus.
Additional comments:
1) I have moved my oral DMSO to bedtime. I take 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon in a glass of water. As a result I no longer need to treat the soles of my feet. The nocturnal shooting pains have not returned.
2) I have had a patch of prickly, itchy, gnarly, lumpy varicosities in my right calf since 2015. Several weeks ago at bedtime I began applying 100% DMSO, covering with food wrap and an ACE bandage. It burns for the expected 20 minutes and then quiets down. The prickle and itch are largely resolved and the lumps are still there but are amazingly softer.
Foodwrap and DMSO
I have looked extensively into the safety of foodwrap as a cover for DMSO applications:
https://oldmaninmaine.substack.com/p/a19e177b-deeb-4e6a-a492-69b21b3c9447
MWD, I don't know where to put this so you may want to move or repost it ....
Hi do you use a metal teaspoon to measure out the DMSO? Or something like a glass spoon? Thanks.
What is LDPE wrap?
Low DensityPolyethylene food wrap from the grocery. Wipe it down with 100% DMSO prior to first use to remove possible surface treatments and then rinse after each use to remove accumulated perspiration, etc. I currently use Glad ClingNSeal.
Why is this necessary?
Food wraps often have chemicals coated on the surface to make them stickier or antibacterial or for other reasons. Anything soluble in DMSO could be a problem, hence I clean the surface with DMSO before use. As to perspiration, MWD has pointed out that perspiration is one way the body expels toxins. Leaving perspiration on the wrap keeps those toxins available to be reabsorbed.
But if you just take a tsp a day orally for example .. ? I’m a little confused. Thank you though
Tinnitus. You think maybe a course of Ivermectin and Fenben would help it? And protect liver with Milk Thisstle and detox with Jason Winters tea.?
My husband has terrible peripheral neuropathy that also keeps him up at night, along with restless legs. I looked at LDPE wrap on amazon, but from the pictures it looks stiff. What kind do you purchase?
My current box is Glad ClingNSeal which I wash with DMSO. See:
https://oldmaninmaine.substack.com/p/a19e177b-deeb-4e6a-a492-69b21b3c9447
I found Benfotiamine (bioavailable vitamin B1) cured my peripheral neuropathy at one tablet a day, I was even taking it for an entirely different reason. I imagine a combo of DMSO and B1 might also be good
My wife says 1200mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid really helps her neuropathy, we haven't tried DMSO for it yet.
Where do you buy LDPE from?
My current box is Glad ClingNSeal which I wash with DMSO. See:
https://oldmaninmaine.substack.com/p/a19e177b-deeb-4e6a-a492-69b21b3c9447
These are just Saran Wrap type products. There are 3 suggested brands in the thread above.
Is LDPE wrap proven safe to use with DMSO?
DMSO store sells HDPE containers for DMSO. LDPE is the low density version of HDPE which makes it flexible for use as a plastic wrap like Saran Wrap. Due to the lower density of LDPE, it has low resistance to oxidizing agents and selected hydrocarbons, which limits its use in applications where these chemicals are present.
DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is a highly polar, aprotic solvent with the ability to dissolve a wide range of organic compounds. However, it does not dissolve LDPE (low-density polyethylene) wrap. LDPE is a non-polar, hydrophobic polymer and is resistant to many chemicals, including DMSO.
What about those old fashioned style Mason jars with glass lids? They have a rubber seal but otherwise have glass lids.? Even Dollar stores have them or Ikea has wine bottle shaped ones with lock tops. (But the tops look like silicone) . Would they be better than plastic film? Also what about a piece of parchment paper? Would that be safer but seal good enough?
Hi, the main point is that DMSO is a powerful solvent that must be contained in materials that are DMSO resistant. I don't know what kind of material is used in Mason jar seals, but I wouldn't trust it without testing first. The DMSO in glass bottles sold by the DMSO Store have a polyethylene insert to protect the plastic cap from the DMSO. The DMSO in plastic bottles sold by the DMSO Store has a common glossy cardboard insert in the cap which proved to be totally inadequate as mine dissolved into pulpy paper fiber after only a few days.

I'm the medical director for the largest wellness center in Wyoming. We are getting a lot of cancer patients showing up to our clinic, recently. I look forward to sharing this information with them. I have been using Dr. Makis's protocol to some extent. I am not able to get the vitamin C in the super high doses that he recommends but our clinic has ozone therapy.
Wait for part 2!
That is so awesome to hear, that the medical director for the largest wellness center in Wyoming is using Dr. Makis's protocol and other alternative therapies for cancer treatment! Reading this is a bright spot in my morning, it gives me hope that the tide is really changing, that the medical mafia is on the way out, and true healing is taking its place.
What town?

For those trying to understand the symbols some commenters mentioned in the oral dosages they took…I went to my kitchen and figured out that 8.5 mL is equivalent to 1 3/4 teaspoons. For the person who asked about the T symbol, that is normally tablespoon also often noted as Tbsp in recipes (or even tbsp) Lowercase t is sometimes used for teaspoon, or tsp. also often used in recipes. I am not a doctor or any type of expert, but I do cook and make 99% of what I eat at home in my own kitchen.
Thank you for this. I've had to do so much remeasuring in my lifetime.
It's so irritating that the US is not on the metric system like the rest of the world. And also the stupid daylight savings time as if the farmers and animals and birds don't know when to start/stop working. 🤡
Yes! I power walk a 5K with a friend, at 7 AM in the morning in the Tampa Bay area in Florida. There was plenty of light out until the day we had to switch our clocks this month. We are now walking in the pitch black, which is nerve-racking. I also noticed kids having to go to school in the dark, too. I realize it will begin getting light soon but still we’ve had a couple of weeks where it’s dark at 7 AM! How is this remotely safe and who is it helping? What was the reason for changing when the shift is made? When I was younger they did it a few weeks later and then shifted it back later in the year.
Where are you in Tampa Bay? I live St Petersburg.
Other Cancer Treatment Sources for those interested
Dr Makis, a Canadian has a substack which he details his treatments. He doesn't tell patients to stop their regular cancer treatment if they want to continue.
Here is a recent substack which has details on treatment

I do not have cancer. I am overwhelmed with medical information, But if I had a need, I would use all these sources.
My husband with bladder cancer is taking ivermectin and Fenben. Along with an immune treatment. We haven’t told the doctor about the other 2 things. So far, so good.
This is a statement on the state of US medicine
Lie to our doctors
I asked the nurse about ivermectin. Her response was that the MD supported CDC.
So it was clear that if I wanted to take control of my health I would have to lie. Fortunately she retired and my new General Practitioner is good. I can say what I want. However, she does not comment on my many supplements because she is not well versed in that area. Here in Columbus, OH, a functional medicine doctor's rate is $500/hr. I have not gone that route. 82 years old. Medicare. No prescriptions.
Ohio State now has a functional department that is covered by Medicare. My first appointment is in May. It will be interesting how "functional" they will be since OSU is such a big research hospital.
Can you remember to let me know how it turns out? I am down the road from OSU hospital.
I will mark my calendar to let you know.
Doc didn’t ask so we don’t tell. Yes. The sad state of healthcare.
Two friends of my sister did the same for their prostate and pancreatic cancers, and both cured them. I'll bet your husband will too. Best wishes to you both!
Thank you. It already worked on a small neck melanoma. No spread and clean removal after 3 months on IVM and Fenben
Update on my husbands bladder cancer using IVM and Fenben. 2 weeks ago he had his second “all clear/in remission” results for the year. We think the urologist knows what we are doing as he mentioned that what hubby was doing he could cut the dose in half. 😊👍🏻
They found something on my pancreas. How did those friends get rid of pancreatic cancers?
I don't know a lot of details about my sister's friends, but she knew that at least one of them did the Joe Tippens protocol.
I think that would be my approach...don't tell.
How do you keep your liver enzymes down while using FenBen and Ivermectin
My husband takes it. His blood work has been fine concerning liver.
What’s fenben?
It’s panacur from Amazon
Yes. There is a FenBen too but many use the panacur. A small melanoma on hubbys neck also disappeared.
Fenbendazole. Another pet med that is easier to get than the official human version. Same thing though. We get it through the company referenced in the substack above. IVM too. There is a stack called Fenbendazole Cures Cancer.
I figure throwing DMSO into that mix couldn't hurt.
A great book on off-label drugs and nutraceuticals for cancer stem cells (the holy grail of cancer care) is "Cracking Cancer Toolkit" by Jeffrey Dach MD. Phenomenal work!
My ancient (16 years old!) Golden Retriever is loving DMSO. As a wild and crazy youngster she did herself a lot of joint damage, like both knees (separate instances) and other. I'm fortunate to have a holistic vet. She did prolotherapy on the knees back then and that worked really well. I've been giving her a rubdown with DMSO every morning. Initially it was and still is a big help in how well she gets around but then I noticed all the lumps and bumps old dogs get were either stopped in their growth or going away. Some of them are apparently cysts, which are either shrinking up or in some cases have started draining then healing up. She just went to the vet for her annual and the vet was joking with me about her living forever because she was in such great shape for her age. I wish, but, hey, equivalent age to 112 years human is incredible and we'll just enjoy that one day at a time.
On the human front, I started taking DMSO orally and am definitely getting very vivid dreams as a fun side effect of any other benefits. I'm old, but still quite active with large gardens and fruit trees. The topical DMSO has been great for all the miscellaneous injuries that go along with that like sunburn, muscle strain (actually healed up what was suspected to be a partially ripped/detached muscle in one arm, supposedly no fixing it) bug bites, scratches and bruises etc, etc. I do believe the oral is also gradually improving overall health, particularly on the inflamation front. All I can say for the pup and myself is a big thanks to the doc here for pointing out something that has us both feeling better every day in spite of our ages.
What percentage DMSO are you using for the morning rubdown, do you dilute it and if so with what? Is it shrinking the cysts? Our almost 10 year old lab has a couple of lumps which I manage to keep from growing too quickly using a mushroom mix and doggie CBD. This might be something to consider adding to our routine. Your protocol sounds very promising!
I'm using full strength from the DMSO store. No dilution. I patch tested her first on a spot where I could see any negative reactions on her skin.
On the cysts, some are shrinking, some are starting to drain out on their own, some just seem the same size.
They may not all be cysts, some may be cancers. My vet showed me that some of them aren't attached to anything but the skin, and some are anchored into something under the skin, the anchored ones being possible cancers. Those are also the ones that are staying the same or have minor shrinkage.
I hope it works for you.
Thanks so much hope it works for your baby too!
Thank you.
I use it orally for the dogs too!
That's one thing my old girl won't tolerate. Great it works for you.
Just wanted to tell you that I have been making a skin serum with ascorbic acid power, a little baking soda to balance the PH, distilled water and DMSO. It is very effective and my skin hasn't looked better. The only downfall is I have to make a fresh batch regularly as I can not use any preservatives ( although the vit C has that capacity) due to the possibility of DMSO amplifying it's effects. Reading about the use of DMSO in skin cancer treatments was very interesting, thank you.
Do you use this formula on your whole body or just on areas that look like they need attention?
I use it primarily on my face but also on any other areas that need attention. Also I find if I have cuts and scratches from gardening that it helps to reduce redness and aids healing.
I believe the quote below IS THE MOST CRITICAL PART! Thank you AMD 🙏🏼 Your charge drops after sedation and surgery too, I help all my clients “get your charge up”. Your cells need the water to be in the Fourth Phase and optimize the terrain as much as possible.
“Collectively, many of these studies touch upon a longstanding observation that the transition to cancer is in part due to the electrical charges and the state of the water within the cells (e.g., it should be in an energy generating liquid crystalline state—something raising the membrane transition temperature promotes), which is a topic I have written more about here.”
Wow! Thank you so much Doc! What a tome! I forwarded this on to dozens of friends and others that might be able to use it. I just got some DMSO for myself and my patients and I’ve been experimenting with it. It’s so good to read just how safe and effective it is. I am blown away! Thank you again. I really appreciate your Substack.
Thanks I try!
Since there is no way regular doctors are gonna use DMSO. We need a comprehensive treatment website for DIY.
Pierre Kory has been having a lot of success with it!
If I’m going through gemzar and abraxane therapy at a traditional hospital how can I incorporate DMSO into the therapy, please?
You're on it. Count your blessings.
I think that some may still use it. I’ve been watching the emergency room drama series The Pitt on Prime and in episode 8 they used DMSO along with some other things to help remove mercury from a patient’s system.
I hope that Dr. Paul Marik will be looking into adding DMSO to his work on alternative cancer protocols, "Cancer Care".
He will definitely read this!
While I deeply appreciate the scholarship in the DMSO series, I would like to say that I have had no success with this product. I have carefully used the protocol for several weeks with the recommended DMSO for three issues: tinnitus, tendonitis, and spider veins. My personal report is NOT to discourage or disparage the use of DMSO. I tolerated it well but it just didn’t work for me, and is a reminder that not everything works for everyone. I remain interested in and grateful for all your research on so many topics!
As best as I can gather it has an 80-90% response rate but for 10-20% of people it doesn't work.
Dear AMD
For the people it doesn't work for- do they need an earthing mat?
It seems to me that's needed, from your discussion about liquid crystal water in the body. And also from the fact that heat is emitted from the interaction between DMSO and water. And also from your discussion about zeta potential.
Geoff Pain recently warned, that the product is not all that safe - I guess you best check if you are allergic to the ingredients you might be worse off. I am allergic to sulfur. I had no result at all with methylene blue either. Finally gave book and bottle to friends. May be they can get help from it.
I looked through his arguments extensively and did not agree with them. I addressed all of them in the article about DMSO's safety but avoided personally attacking him.
You can't be allergic to sulfur. It's necessary for life. I assume you're alive, thus you are using and ingesting sulfur. If something WITH sulfur makes you react, you have a sensitivity or allergy to another ingredient or compound combined with the sulfur.
Same for me Teresa. I tried DMSO on my spider veins for several months. No change at all. We also tried it on our fur baby who had chewed herself due to traveling anxiety. Applied it several times a day for 2 weeks - no help. Finally took her to the vets that gave us something that cleared it about in 3 days. Sure wish I knew why it works for some and not others. Love MWD and her knowledge that she shares though!! (Not sure why I think MWD is a woman?)
I think the same, but don't tell anyone as she wishes to remain anonymous ;-)
Well, an interesting twist in the conversation….hmmm, he/she, does not matter. They have awakened many and for that I am so grateful!! @MWD, can’t wait for Part 2!!
For clarification, all of my correspondences with Lance (and a lot other people) have been via email, so he has no way to know things like my gender.
It’s only a guess….no one knows and I get thats the way MWD wants it. I wish whoever it is would come out and take a bow for her/his fabulous content that needs to be heard thruout the world.
I hope that Mid west doc remains anonymous for his or her own safety. These a days....
That would be the end of MWD. He/she says too many great but contentious things!
For some reason I think it is a female as well lol
Does your lifestyle include frequent and regular earthing? From what I understand about the mechanisms DMSO works by, earthing is an essential part of the equation.
Tell me how do that grounding when its -28° out?? 🥶
Purchase an earthing mat aka earthing pad. I put mine across my pillow at night. For example from Groundology. There's also bedding for grounding while asleep.
Just curious, if you don’t mind sharing:
Did you take it orally or only use it topically or both? What concentrations?
I wonder if you tried different brands? And not from Amazon?
And is there any possibility that sometimes healers dont work because there is some blockage? Root canals.or mercury amalgums or.toxicity from vaccines or shedding from someone elses vaccine or bowels partially blocked or parasites? Just a thought....
Many many thanks! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the time and effort you put into this. And I’m one of those who have been anxiously awaiting this. Again, my deepest appreciation. And I hope to share some corroborating info soon.
Thank you again, AMD! Regarding combinations of DMSO with natural therapies, here are some I'd like to see tested STAT! DMSO + Ivermectin, and/or Fenbendazole, curcumin, Modified Citrus Pectin.
I am really grateful for the this series of articles! I have osteoarthritis and have done every conceivable, genetically informed, study based nutrients/lifestyle hack you can imagine. I eat organically, optimized sleep, exercise 5/6/days/week, infrared sauna etc.
DMSO really helped immensely! In the beginning I used 99% strength topically twice/day. It itches for about 20 minutes and then pain free. After 2 months of this, I started taking it 1 tsp/day and worked up to 3 tsp in 2 divided doses. This began to cause heartburn so I discontinued oral after a month. I also made a salve to apply and usually this is enough to control pain at this point. It is a study based/spiritually directed formula and has taken the scaly skin issue away. At this point, I find I have to apply it less often. If I have a flare, I apply the salve and then the DMSO. This has reduced intake of Aleve to maybe twice/month. I have also used DMSO to reduce and eliminate pain from pulling a muscle during a lift. I do think the combination of topical and oral helped in the number of flares. I am considering restarting 1 tsp with honey as mentioned in a linked comment.
Thank you, thank you!!
On Dr. MAKIS substack one patient got better of Osteoarthritis on Ivermectin and Fenben . LDN also helps a lot
Thanks again for your detailed discussion of DMSO. I have to admit though that I don't understand the way dosing is discussed. For example, you write "2.5% oral DMSO significantly slowed the cancer’s growth." But this is only part of the story. One needs to know both the concentration and the total amount of solution consumed.
Did they take a tablespoon of 2.5% DMSO? Or a glass full of 2.5% DMSO. I'd really like to have a better understanding of the dose responses of DMSO when reading.
They just regularly drank it.
I have 99% pure pharmaceutical grade. Should I drink that? How much? (10 yr lung cancer survivor, 4 yr bladder cancer survivor, and now they're going to do biopsy of something on kidney, and postponed the smaller thing they found on pancreas, cause didn't want biopsy down my esophagus! And can only handle one thing at a time!)
I take DMSO orally for an autoimmune condition. Once per day I add 8.5 ml of 99.99% DMSO to a liquid (usually juice) for a total of 125 ml. That's about a 6.8% DMSO solution.
When working with 99.99% DMSO, the final percentage is ml of DMSO divided by ml of total solution.
This is what I do. It doesn't constitute medical advice.
Agreed. The total amount of DMSO used (such as g/kg) in addition to the concentration would be useful when discussing systemic applications (IV, injection, oral). Percentage concentration are more useful in topical applications.
In this case the body is primarily water, so I'm not sure the strength is of importance as much as the absolute amount of DMSO ingested (which of course should be diluted for ingestion for safety.)
It's its too concentrated people have issues receiving it (especially orally).
Yes, but could there be any harm is over-diluting it?
Exactly. It's about plasma concentration.
Since the density of DMSO is nearly that of water we can get along well by assuming 1 g/cm^3 for density at STP. Since 1 cm^3 is equal to 1 ml, we can equate 1 ml DMSO with 1 g DMSO.
So, when AMD cites a case where 2.5% had effect, we can see that 2.5 ml of DMSO in 100 ml of solution is a 2.5% solution. From there we can see that 2.5 ml is 2.5 g based on density. A 2.5 g dose for an 88.5 kg body is 0.028 g/kg. That ultimately determines the resulting plasma concentration in that body.
That's actually pretty small. So it is amazing how effective DMSO can be.
People are different though, and some may require higher doses in order to achieve effective plasma concentration levels.
Reminder: I'm not a doctor. And always verify my math.
I'm still working my way through this article and all the links. There is a true story I felt useful to relate when I came across this statement, though I may have told it before: "...since there is so much fear surrounding cancer..."
Many years ago my mother was being treated for cancer. She was sharing a room with another patient. When I came to visit, she asked me to close the curtain between them and motioned me to come close so she could privately tell me something. She said the other woman came to find out what was wrong with her. When her daughter came and asked what they found, she said, "It's terminal kidney disease." "Oh! thank God it isn't cancer!" the daughter exclaimed.
Never forget, cancer is just a "C" word. Some things are worse, some not. Keep your balance.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! A wealth of solid information to read, digest & re-read.
AMWDr, thank you so much for this amazing article. So much information! I have a few comments to add.
Melatonin at high doses appears to do one of the things that DMSO can do which is to freeze a cancer and promote some re-differentiation. It also makes Insulin Potentiation Therapy comfortable. Dr Frank Shallenberger uses it very effectively (see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=Roh4lQXneQg ). I have had a few people ask me for ideas and have suggested they use both DMSO and high-dose melatonin. So far, their experiences seem positive as they work with their doctors.
I have used a 1.87% Ivermectin topical treatment on my mother's various skin growths (she is 100), and they fall off like crazy fast. I have not mixed the paste with DMSO, but I suspect it would help, especially with deeper or thicker growths.
I have been trying to integrate DMSO into my life but find dehydration is a serious limiting factor. In Ayurvedic terms, I am half Vata, half Pitta, and 3% Kapha, so the Vata type issues can be destabilizing and drying in themselves. DMSO makes that drying even more difficult and destabilizing. If you have any advice on dealing with the dehydration DMSO can cause, especially in Vata body types without a Kapha anchor, I would appreciate it. There may be other readers with a similar issue. :-)
Thank you again!
Maybe look into the zeta potential that AMWD talks about. He mentions it in this article and every article on DMSO. I certainly need it too!
Thanks, Margo, but as far as I can tell, DMSO is favorable for ZP. No, my experience is that DMSO, as AMWDr stated, does cause water to leave tissues and exit the body. A Vata body type would be more sensitive to this process than, say, a Kapha body type which tends to stay moist. I'm really just wondering if there is a specific action I haven't thought of to help prevent this destabilizing effect, but I suspect that I'm stuck with drinking more and taking more magnesium and electrolytes. I'm continuing to work on it, with lower doses of DMSO and being careful about foods that might dry out in the GI tract if I don't drink enough. We'll see! :-)
I'm probably very similar in terms of Ayurvedic constitutional type, but I haven't had the issue regarding DMSO causing dryness other than skin dryness and itching where I apply it. The itching issues go away if I use a lower concentration.
What happens when you use DMSO that leads you to conclude it's causing dehydration and aggravating Vata?
Thanks, pimaCanyon! I'm using it orally. It causes GI issues due to dehydration. I often forget to hydrate or to take my magnesium, so the DMSO adds a destabilizing factor to the situation. I just wanted to see if AMWDr or anyone else had advice. Given your comment, maybe I should switch to topical, but that seems to be volume limited. Still experimenting! :-)
Again THANKS for a TERRIFIC article .. I honestly don't know what I would do without this substack since just about ALL my clinical decisions come from it since the clinical advice I get from ALL my doctors, with one very notable exception, is worse than worthless since the Rx always prescribed are always to some extent IMHO LETHAL [some are lethal sooner, some sneak up after awhile .. fortunately I found out that I could not tolerate anything tho one almost completely destroyed me .. so I just nod yes and immediately ignore virtually all the clinical advice I am given, again with one notable exception where the Dr tells me I am doing an excellent job taking my and my wife's health into our own hands]

Again THANKS for all you do !!!
The big issue is that the current medical payment model incentivizes doing lots of services, not getting patients well.
I live in a state where I can’t easily buy ivermectin. Can you please post links for sources to buy reliable ivermectin? Thank you.
We are not patients...we are recurring revenue streams. The mRNA platform can be easily converted to a subscription model so we can all "benefit" from its wonders.
None of the above links work for me. Can you please repost where to buy reliable ivermectin tabs? Thank you

Thank you for these references. So valuable.
Thanks so much for all that info
great comment, thank you. I've copied and pasted into a document and saved on my hard drive because you've got so many great links in the comment, and I want it easily available for future reference.
Outstanding!
Excellent! I have been using chlorine dioxide (CDS) for about 7 years (topically and externally). I plan to incorporate DMSO to enhance the CLO2 absorption.
The best book I have read on cancer is by Dr Jerry Tennant, Healing is Voltage; Cancers On/Off Switch: Polarity. He proposes cancer cells form due to a lack of voltage/pH.
Another cancer therapy from an Italian scientist is Citozym from Citozeatec. They use enzymatic substrates orally and topically with some amazing results. (http://www.citozeatecsrl.ch).
Thank you again! The different dose specific amounts is fascinating. One application of 99% to my knee is all i needed to help with arthritis (one more application helped after i overdid it). I've given the same three times to my dog who tore her acl). It helped her as well. I'm fascinated recently by bloodroot and black salve but am early in the learning. Ive had the three types of skin cancers. I healed a bcc with eggplant and acv mixture I made. I couldn't stop thinking about all the healing possible when just reading the books...When Breath Becomes Air and Everythg Happens for a Reason
I was looking for some mention of Ivermectin, Fenbendazole, and Mebendazole in your article AMD, and I was grateful that you did, as mentioned that many people have enquired about the topic of combining those with DMSO. I have been following Dr. William Makis' exploits with the three compounds, and he is reporting today that many folks have had positive outcomes with exzema, self-experimenting with these proven safe drugs. I will be trying out some of these protocols if I can find something wrong with me to justify the experiment. I recently did damage to a left-side piriformis doing some superhuman calisthenics loading/unloading a truck...applied DMSO at 50% and about a week into it I'm back on my feet. You mentioned piriformis recently in the comments, at about that same time I was needing some help. S.I. SYNDROME and piriformis are difficult to differentiate sometimes, because the symptoms overlap. I was suffering from both. Thanks for all the work AMD, we will put it to good use. God bless you.
David - consider yourself fortunate that you have this "issue" :) I'm afraid you're in the minority!! " if I can find something wrong with me to justify the experiment."
AMD, any thoughts on applying DMSO topically to the breasts before having a mammogram?
Good idea (provided it's soaked in so the nothing on the plates will go into the skin), but it's much more important for radiotherapy.
My radiation therapy after breast cancer was 16 years ago. I don’t have much sensation in that area. Would DMSO change anything at this point in time?
Thank you for your reply.
Many thanks for another great article on DMSO. I have purchased the gel but have not tried it yet. If something becomes pressing then I'm ready and have it on hand. Thanks for all your hard work, research and time devoted to making us aware and knowledgeable on DMSO.
This is very long and detailed and I just skimmed it. As I got it tonight, I plan to take a long time to dive down the rabbit hole following all the links, as I plan to use it. Thank you for this information.
You will not regret it if you use Dmso.
Thanks! I have been using it externally, but plan to try internally after I read more. I believe it has already made it possible to avoid the surgery I was contemplating.
Thank you very much. I can’t thank you enough for this valuable information and all of your hard work.
Thank you
Thanks so much for this.
I do not need any prescription medicines. I take too many supplements.
I am using 70% DMSO on a skin issue.
Do many people take DMSO orally like we take supplements?
I took DMSO orally for a jaw pain (still not sure if it was TMJ). I took 1 teaspoon a day in 6 oz of water for about 2 weeks then continued with about 4-5 drops of 50% DMSO in water applied as close as I could get to the TM joint. I am very tolerant of DMSO. The pain is now gone. I am still not sure if it was the TMJ or a tooth.
I also take a lot of supplements.
My husband and I, both in our 70s, have been taking 1 T in 4 ounces of juice daily for several months. Seems to help!
Thanks. But I would like some clarification. 1T - is that teaspoon or tablespoon.
What concentration do you start with? 99.9%? 70%
Do you use pure DMSO or one with something else in it.
1T is tablespoon. A small t is teaspoon. I put it right out of thr bottle into juice. The only way I can tolerate the taste.
was it a 99.9% concentration?
Fred above used a teaspoon in 6 oz water and continued with 4-5 drops of 50% DMSO applied as close as TM joint.
Yes. It’s quite diluted in a 1/2 or cup of liquid. I don’t get too deep into detail. That’s just me. I’ll mess with the full 99%+.
Many many thanks. Fascinating.
Has anyone you know tried injecting DMSO into a palpable tumor?
We tried a (very) few times with no evident success. Do not take as definitive though please. Suggest you look up OG. Is a very recently (January 025) developing potential treatment that can be injected in the periphery of a malignant tumor.
Thank you. What is OG?
Given lance's background, my guess is that he was referring to ozonated glycerin.
yes.
Is there a particular book on DMSO you recommend? The original Dr. Jacobs book is out of print and costs an arm and a leg. There are several to choose from on Amazon, but I can't figure out which one is best.
Lance's favorite is DMSO's nature healer. Once I finish the hemoxylin article and the combination therapy article, pretty much everything that exists in every DMSO book (plus a lot more) will be available in these articles.
Thank you so much for your reply and your through research. I was trying to research at what age it would be safe topically i.e. for children. Subscribing to your substack is one of better decisions I've ever made!
You should be able to grab a pdf of the Jacobs book at the following URL

Thank you Infinitely for ALL your EXCELLENT work/info!!!! What a difference it has made for MANY people! And in such a short time. I first heard about you from Mercola's newsltter. Sometime last yr Jimmy Dore mentioned you on his show! I love when crucial info spreads! I always look forward to. you articles and share them with others.
Meanwhile, I was wondering if you were or any of the commenters going to mention chlorine dioxide along with dmso together. I've been applying dmso topically, and also adding it to my daily dose of activated chlorine dioxide. It seems that chlorine dioxide is highly beneficial for successfully treating cancer. And along with dmso... the magic ticket!
Another question, I think I saw in one of your dmso articles that it's contraindicated when on antidepressants. I wan't to tell a friend about it, but not sure he would be able to take it because of the problematic pharma drug. ; (
Thanks!
1) I will write about DMSO combinations including CDS later in series.
2) The issue is that it can potentiate alcohol and barbiturates (and given that likely benzodiazepines).
Thank you for your reply! Looking forward to all your amazing unfolding articles to come! I'm incredibly amazed at the work you've been covering and sharing. It's MAJORLY BENEFICIAL!!! And yea ok, so people on SRIs, dmso would not be a good idea. ; (. I wonder if that is the same for chlorine dioxide. I think with chlorine dioxide you also can't drink any caffeine. And even ivermectin & fenbendazole cancer treatment, SRIs might be seriously problematic.. I can see how people should/could, possibly give up alcohol, especially for treating cancer, but getting off of SRI's is another story. Maybe there is newer info about how to do that..
Oh, and it would be WONDERFUL if someone could write up something about similarities and differences between chlorine dioxide, dmso, ivermectin & fenbendazole, even pine spirits & castor oil... And what conditions each of them provide, and maybe shortfalls. A lot of traction in interest is developing re these substances and how to use them. GOOD THING, RIGHT! And I wish the evil doers would stop smearing Kennedy!
Again, MUCH APPRECIATION to you Midwestern Doctor!!!
Anti depressants are often meant to push serotonin. Serotonin has never been proven to help depression. (If thats what they are on) its a joke. A bad joke.
For depression, a lot of laughter, and real jokes and good news. And sun and Walking. Helps the dopamine. Sleep.and high dose Vit B. Niacin and Vit D3 (at least 10,000 iu.with K2. high dose. And many other healthy supplements. but a Good Natropathic doc is best for this.
Right. My friend believes in all the conventional stuff. I don't think he would even consider giving up his medication. Let alone believe that B, Niacin, D3, K2... could make a difference. Hopefully he will be coming around.
MB, I've been thinking it's a great health promotion & remedy, but just this week Sayer Ji in one of his newsletters has an article:
'The Blue Brain Effect: Methylene Blue's Dark Side & What You Should Be Ingesting Instead'
https://greenmedinfo.com/content/blue-brain-effect-methylene-blues-dark-side-what-you-should-be-using-instead
'Biohackers are turning to methylene blue--but what exactly is this synthetic, petroleum-derived chemical doing to the human body, and at what cost?'
He says, concerning its potential to cross the blood-brain barrier and the implications of its presence in neural tissues.. and there are plenty of adverse effects found in the medical literature. But we know what that could mean.
He says safety studies should be conducted...
Sayer isn't one to smear holistic beneficial substances, he's a friend of Kennedy, maybe he just wants to push 'gold medal science'. Also though, he promotes phycocyanin: which can be found in spiralina as a health alternative, which could be true. Meanwhile, now I'm not sure about MB?
I found no benefit myself to MB and eventually expense prohibited taking some of the amounts suggested while getting no benefit.
Me neither. Just in the midst of studying.it
Maybe MW dr will be sharing info about it? Interesting, I can comment and reply to comments, but when I click on like, for you and MW dr, nothing happens?
I'l have to see your 'studying it'. ; )
Thank you for your very valuable research. We appreciate your commitment to researching and sharing this excellent information.
Blessings to you, dear Doctor.
I believe the mineral molybdenum could help offset those sensitive to DMSO. The sensitivity could be due a suox gene polymorphism. Those who don't tolerate sulfur foods often have a compromised sulfation pathway.
how do you know if you don't tolerate sulfur foods? I eat them (like veggies in brassica family) and don't notice a problem. However, I do notice a problem when I've tried MSM, seems to adversely affect my gut.
To my knowledge there is no test other than having the suox gene glitch. Even that is only the potential to have problems. May try reintroducing msm with molybdenum and see if it helps
thanks!
Why do you recommend NOT applying DMOS to an open wound? It’s not explained.
I am especially curious since it seems like it might help with psoriasis and also be useful for topical treatment of my wife’s non-healing breast tumor skin wound.
Thank you so much for this extremely valuable article!
You can but its more sensitive so people often just do the periphery of the wound
interesting. I did the same thing a couple days ago after taking a flying fall on a hiking trail. I was wearing gloves but the fall still broke the skin on the heel of my palm. I applied DMSO to the periphery of the bleeding area.
Now here's the amazing part of that story. After I got up from the fall, I had a bruise on the muscle just to the right of, and slightly above, the kneecap of the left leg (quad muscle). It was about the size of a nickel, blue-ish and getting darker. I had arnica with me, so I took some. I realized the hike was over, so I began hiking back to the trailhead, but the pain in my knee and the quad muscle was intense. Then I remembered I had DMSO in my pack. I put some on the bruised area, the pain went away immediately, but the surprise was so did the bruise! I mean like maybe 1/2 minute, 1 minute, the blue color of the bruised tissue was back to normal. I've never had a bruise like that disappear. I figured it would turn an ugly black and blue and would take a week or more for it to disappear. The pain came back as I was walking, but I just reapplied DMSO about every 20 minutes or so till I got back to the trailhead. Two days later the leg is almost back to normal, no residual pain when I walk or even run very slowly. DMSO is a miracle!
In the winter especially, I get these tiny splits (a tiny open wound) in the skin on my finger tips, which are exceedingly painful if you bump the finger tip on anything. Which is very east to do if I am doing any kind of manual labor, or just doing anything. Last one I had a month or so back, I had been dealing with it for a couple of weeks, rubbing in every known lotion trying to keep it soft. But it seemed no better. (when I used to work in the hospital, many would get these from using latex gloved coated with powder to make them easier to get on. The only thing that ever helped us was a very powerful prescription steroid cream, but using 1% hydrocortisone cream(non- prescription) didn't seem to help much. ......................................... Anyway, this last one, I decided to SOAK it for a minute or 2 in 99.9% DMSO. Within 2 hours, it was noticeably better! The next day it was 90% better. I soaked it again. By later that day 100% of pain was gone, though it took a few days for the split to 100% close up. I was thrilled, thinking I'd never have to suffer with these things again! ......................... Well, a couple of days ago I was doing a lot of work repairing some rotted wood behind a gutter on my house. ( kind of hard because I had no help and am 76 years old) I developed another one my thumb. I soaked in DMSO, and did not get much improvement. Repeated, still not much improvement, thought "OH NO, it is not going to work!". I have been coating it with equiv of chap stick to keep it flexible and moist and reduce the pain. Now, 2 or 3 days into it, I soaked it 1 more time. Now, a few hours later, I notice pain is 90% gone!!!!! YAY!!!!!! I think this was s significantly larger split, plus it was extra hard not to re-injur it what with it being on my thumb. Even buttoning a shirt was painful and re-injuring. Maybe that is why it took longer? But even so, these things can take weeks to heal, so I am still delighted!
Non healing wounds may be helped by diluted St. JOHNS Wort. Dilute in hot water. (This is to take away the alcohol so it doesnt sting!) Amazing for healing open wounds. So is Asea.
What is the DMSO protocol for Tinnitus?
I'll have to look back through AMD's previous articles, someone said there's a protocol for tinnitus there. But if anyone knows of it and could save us the time to look it up, it'd be appreciated. :)
https://www.scribd.com/document/810385658/A-Midwestern-Doctor-Dmso-Posts
Page 117
Upon looking again, the scribd site wanted an account to view the content. (I saved a pdf originally). Anyway, hope this isn't a nuisance but here is the section from the MDW dealing with the application to ears:
DMSO for the Ears
While systemic administrations of DMSO can sometimes help ear conditions, typically when DMSO is used to treat tinnitus, it is also administered directly into the canal (e.g., you lie on your side with the ear facing the ceiling and then put 2-3 drops of DMSO into it). When this is done, 40% DMSO is typically used (some use 50%), but to be safe, you may want to use a lower concentration to start. Likewise, placing DMSO on the head around the ear can sometimes help as well (e.g., the previously mentioned New York City clinic would also apply a 90% DMSO lotion combined with capsicum [a circulation increasing compound] and aloe vera around the ear twice each day).
Note: typically, the most reliable results for tinnitus are found within Chinese Medicine (which frequently views tinnitus as a result of insufficient blood flow). I have also had some success injecting lidocaine into areas around the ear (e.g., the acupuncture points used to treat tinnitus), as this appears to reset the excessive sympathetic activity that plays a key role in tinnitus (which I learned about from this paper).
Additionally, in the study I cited earlier where DMSO was used to successfully treat tinnitus, various drugs were mixed with it that were thought to increase circulation. Specifically:
The treatment consisted of the local application of approximately 2 ml spray solution in the external auditive canal of the affected ear every 4 days for one month. The spray solution contained the following drugs: y-ketophenylbutazone, moroxydine HCl, hydrocortisone, lidocaine HCl, n-propylcarbinol, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a vehicle and potentiator of the other drugs. At the same time, the patients were treated parenterally with a daily intramuscular injection (5 ml) for 30 days. The injections contained buphenine chlorhydrate, y-aminobutyric acid, y-amino-j3- hydroxybutyric acid, 1-acetylglutamine, lidocaine chlorhydrate, and DMSO (0.5 ml), plus water (q.s. 5 ml).
While some of these substances are now very hard to get ahold of, what jumped at me was lidocaine being part of this treatment protocol, which means they may have inadvertently been doing the neural therapy approach (injecting lidocaine into an overactive nerve so that it resets back to normal when the anesthetic wears off).
When DMSO is used for infections of the ear, it can be mixed with various antibiotics (e.g., the research here I mentioned used oxacillin, terramycin, or erythromycin). However, DMSO can be combined with a wide range of antibiotics, antivirals, and anti-fungals (which I will discuss later in this series).
Note: erythromycin is one of the most consistently effective antibiotics for eliminating cell-wall-deficient bacteria (which are a common cause of chronic illness).
Additionally, many instead mix DMSO with easily available antimicrobial substances. For example, one author advocates for putting chlorine dioxide (e.g., 2 drops of activated MMS in 10ml water) or hydrogen peroxide (1-3%) immediately before or after applying DMSO.
Just a quick question about DMSO in general. I have a 70% DMSO and aloe Vera gel, as well as a 50% mixture I created with distilled water. When I use either one topically, I get an uncomfortable pins and needles tingling for 20-30 minutes, along with skin redness where applied and in some cases my skin itches in that area. Given your experience with many users of DMSO, is this common and/or potentially something to be concerned about?
I have been a little reluctant to ingest it for these reasons.
That is common, but you can use a lower dose to avoid it.
I found a patent that uses honey with DMSO to reduce the topical itching and possible garlic breath. https://patents.google.com/patent/US7790928B1/en
It’s a funny idea for a patent, sort of like patenting lemonade, but I’m glad I came across the honey/DMSO formulas/ratios he outlines as they make DMSO less itchy topically and more palatable orally.
Not only that but the patent itself is full of great DMSO information. The author had been working with DMSO for 25 years at the time of publishing.
Thanks Ben, very interesting information. The other reason I have been slow to use DMSO is that my Mom used it 40+ years ago and I still remember the eye watering smell.😂. When I would get close to her, I could taste it (possibly my imagination due to strong odor), and it was definitely not pleasant.
I haven’t noticed the odor to be nearly as strong with the DMSO I have, which is supposed to be 99.9% pure, but then my sense of smell is not nearly as sensitive, since I lost it entirely when I had COVID (or whatever that was, so as not to trigger any no-virus readers) so the honey information is very good to know.
I've heard from Dr Bryan Ardis that nicotine patch or gum will bring back your taste and smell. He has a 2:30 hour video on it. Nicotine is in many of the everyday foods we eat :)
Yes this definitely works, after covid messed up my sense of smell, I had to relearn certain smells. I had been dealing with that for about 4 years and my natural doctor suggested I try the nicotine patch. He suggested 7 mg, alternately you can purchase the 21 mg and just cut it in thirds. Within a matter of actually even hours, the weird smells started going away! After about a month he told me to cut the 7 mg in half and just do a maintenance dose of 3.5 mg. I was told that nicotine got a bad rap because it is used in cigarettes that contain the harmful chemicals. Also had a friend who had a lot of shakiness in her hands, she tried it and it was almost immediate like within an hour of her taking it better shakiness subsided. My smell issue still Creeps in once in awhile so I keep the patches around and I just put on 7 mg one each day for just a couple of days and it helps keep it under control.
Thank you, I have actually seen that video and went as far as to buy nicotine patches, but then I read something else about how all the other components in the patches and nicotine itself being bad for you. It is just so hard to know what the real truth is with so much contradictory information.
I lost my sense of smell for approximately 1 1/2 years and then it began to come back very gradually. I’m still pondering whether to use the patches. It does make sense.that nicotine could be protective because my Dad, who was a quite heavy smoker for 70 years was never sick. Unfortunately, all the other chemicals in the cigarettes eventually took their toll and he developed COPD which was a very high price to pay.
There’s a brand of nicotine lozenge called Nic Nac. They make their lozenges with just 5 ingredients and sweetened with xylitol sugar from birch trees which is protective for teeth. I was so grateful to find them as most gums, patches, pouches use horrendous chemicals and sweeteners. I only use it on rare occasions for mental focus to get specific tasks done and it works great.
Lucy brand for gum and Rugby for patches are the cleanest. Out of all the people that died of COVID, 2% were smokers and 40% were diabetic.
Great info! Can you "interpret" what percentage of honey vs. DMSO this patent recommends. I can barely tolerate DMSO even at a 20% solution (in water/colloidal silver) so I'm hopeful the honey could be the ticket for me!
Claim 6 results in an approximate 70% DMSO mixture.
This was in the article: I have experimented over the last three years with various formulations of DMSO and honey, with an excellent, general, formulation being 1 part honey, 7 parts DMSO, and 3 parts water.
This would result in an approximate 64% DMSO mixture.
The author has a list of different formulations. The one I use is: dimethyl sulfoxide about 19 grams; honey about 2 grams; water about 6 grams. That’s what I use orally and topical on my body. If I use it on my face I use 50/50 honey/DMSO for 30 minutes before showering.
Karen, here is my weird experience: I was applying 99.9% liquid to various aches and pains. Main place I needed it was my hips, lt hip especially, as these would wake me up when I was asleep on my side middle of the night. So, I start applying to both hips at bedtime, hoping to get thru the night. It did help. But, my extra bad hip, the left(only) would burn like crazy for 30 minutes or so...................................................................... I was starting to dread applying it. (rt hip was no problem!) I was afraid I would actually blister, but I never saw any or even much redness. Plus, it was itching quite unpleasantly, even during the day many hours after applying it. But I kept applying it, either right before bed or as soon as that hip pain woke me up middle of the night. .................................. Then, after a couple of weeks, it 100% stopped burning or itching. So I now do not hesitate to apply it before bedtime, which greatly improves my odds of not being awakened at 4AM with hip pain. Go figure. Why did it quit burning and itching? Why did it ever burn and itch there and not most other places, including my rt hip? I have no clue. But it did, and I'm happy about that!
skin itching often decreases with time
That is so strange, because I have a similar story. I broke my leg pretty badly when I was 3. Fast forward almost 60 years and I started to have very sharp pains in the area of the old break, that are becoming more frequent. I decided to use DMSO to see if that would help, but similar to you, it not only tingles and burns, but is also very itchy, sometimes even a day or two after I have stopped applying it, which does not happen when I use it elsewhere. Unlike you though, I stopped using it there because of the very annoying itch. I guess I’ll try it again to see if that effect will go away.
Thanks for the information.
skin itching often decreases with time
Have you tried taking it internally?
I get some tingling and burning but it goes away. Not a problem for me. I use the gel from Tractor Supply and it works well with my knee pain. I use full strength DMSO liquid in orange juice. I have just started that.
When I use the 70 per cent with aloe vera I get the burning, tingling, itchy red thing but goes away in about 20 minutes and I notice an improvement. I had a skin tag that fell off after about two weeks of applying dmso regularly.
Since you seem to be sensitive, I would dilute more. And probably not take internally.
I get some itchiness, I guess you could call it that, with 70% mixed with aloe vera, but it goes away in about 10 minutes. I don't know if it gets red because I put it on my back. Some days are more than others. Aloe Vera may modify some of the reaction. I can use 100%, but find 70% works well enough. There is organic Aloe Vera that can also be taken internally at most nutrition stores.
You say DMSO draws in whatever is on the surface of the skin. Does it spread anything it encounters while moving inside the body? Specifically I am wondering about amalgam fillings in teeth.
I wonder that too! -probably time to get them removed…
Forgive me if I’m asking about something you already wrote about. I’d like to be able to speak with my radiation oncologist about allowing me to use a topical 70% dmso gel with aloe before and after each of my upcoming 35 sessions for a deep large basal growth behind my ear. When I first asked her about it she showed me a toxicity curve and explained that a crème could cause the dosage to be too high.
I already use this gel regularly on the site without irritation.
I’m about to have a ct simulation so I figure I have 2 weeks to prepare.
I found a 2018 article from Penn Med, about a study done by Dr Bauman that showed it’s ok to use a thin layer of protective crème in most cases without the complicating effects, and the article also showed that most doctors surveyed about such usage didn’t allow it.
I guess I’m also looking for confirmation that using a thin layer of dmso gel as pretreatment isn’t going to alter that toxicity curve, and if it does, can treatment be altered accordingly by reducing dosage.
I plan to show her your article also, but I’m not sure if that’ll be enough.
I appreciate your work. It would be nice to know the best way to approach this given that I’m willing to take the risk. Thank you!
All I can go off is the data I presented here. I would be very surprised if the oncologist was aware of anything not mentioned here.
So maybe I was foolish bringing it up with a treating MD if its not an approved usage?
Do you think Dr Bauman's 2018 study is relevent to the use of 70% topical DMSO as per radioprotective cremes?
It addresses her primary objection so it might help.
Is there a separate article on how to dose dmso for spinal stenosis ? Is this applied topically or taken orally?
Fantastic info, as always! I've added this to a curation of more than 250 clinical studies and testimonials on cancer reversal and recovery successes:
https://birdseyeviewperspective.substack.com/p/at-most-he-had-six-months-left-according
Fantastic research! Thanks for putting such great work into this. I have a friend who has lung, liver and stomach cancer and is using DMSO topically but this will be a valuable resource in how to use it more effectively. Thank you so much for all your hours you devoted to this.
BRILLIANT! This must have taken hours and hours! I so appreciate you! 💖
Thank you for all your hard work in researching and reporting this information. It’s so hard to believe that the FDA all but erased DMSO. So many could have benefited from it. Fortunately, you’ve made us all aware! Bless you.
Short Answer: The FDA is FOS.
Thanks you for your insightful article! I found it particularly interesting that you briefly mentioned the potential combination of DMSO with ivermectin. You noted that while you understand the theoretical merits, you don't have direct experience with this combination.
I've been specifically curious about whether using DMSO (which is known for its ability to enhance permeability and drug penetration) could potentially increase ivermectin's ability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Normally, ivermectin doesn’t easily pass through the BBB due to the action of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux pumps, thus preventing it from accumulating in the central nervous system. However, by combining ivermectin with DMSO, could we unintentionally increase the risk of neurotoxic side effects, such as ataxia, tremors, seizures, or even coma?
Do you have any additional insights or perhaps anecdotal evidence regarding this potential risk, even if indirectly from other professionals?
Thank you—I’d appreciate your perspective!
I don't, but that was one of the main reasons why I said I could see why it is a good idea in theory but I do not know about how it works in practice.
I take DMSO every day as well as ivermectin. I have not noticed any enhancement of side effects.
It's good to hear that you haven't noticed any enhanced side effects. Out of curiosity, what dosage of ivermectin are you taking?
At present, 24 mg daily to try to address PMR. That's about 0.27 mg/kg at my mass.
I do have a slight neurological effect which results in light sensitivity. But that is not enhanced by DMSO.
You're overthinking it.
First get to where the individual isn't making their body a cesspool that cancers can easily grow in.
I drink DMSO every day and take ivermectin once a week. It's all preventative.
It's not overthinking, but rather a professional curiosity. High doses of ivermectin (1-2 mg per kg of body weight) are sometimes used in cancer therapies, and it's important to consider the potential risks. Ivermectin's half-life and cumulative effects are relevant here—especially in terms of how it could accumulate in the brain, which might lead to serious consequences if there's too much of it in the system. I'm particularly interested in this due to the possible neurotoxic side effects, especially when combined with DMSO, which can enhance permeability and potentially affect the blood-brain barrier.
I watched the video and the doctor said to apply the DMSO on the skin and leave it to dry for 15 to 30 minutes. Is that the protocol, is it not supposed to be rubbed in?
That works better but people often don't have time to do that.
It is more effective if you let it dry and it's not rubbed in.
Certain parts of my body can handle it, but when I roll it on thymus, my chest burns and gets red for an hour.
dose is too high then
Certain parts of my body cannot tolerate even a 70 percent solution (my back, for example), but when I use a 40 or 50 percent solution there, it's much better tolerated. My feet however can tolerate very high doses. I just use a more dilute solution for the areas that are too sensitive for the 70 percent solution.
I’m a subscriber but have never written before. Doctor, my husband has or had stage 4 prostate cancer, and he’s been taking ivermectin and Fenbendazole among other things. (Also had pin point radiation) Last pet scan showed no cancer in prostate but slight cancer showing in 4 lymph nodes around prostate. He gets his medical care from the VA in Nashville. They are concerned it might spread and are recommending androgen therapy. Last PSA was up quite a bit, and he’s concerned. He asked me how to take the DMSO to help. I take it for muscle pain. It works great. But I don’t know what to tell him. Internally? On the skin? What should we combine it with? Any suggestions? He’s very open to alternative treatments.
1) You can take DMSO orally or apply it topically over perineum (some people also do interectal to get directly at the prostate), all of which I've seen help for BPH.
2) Pierre Kory has a telemedicine practice that works with a lot of this stuff.
3) Lance (who also commented here) also has a lot of knowledge in this area.
Thank you for that advice in DMSO and prostate cancer. We are in contact with Lance and will be flying down to Ecuador tomorrow for a week of treatment, which we will continue on our own. Also, I wanted to mention, I just read an email from someone who calls himself The Health Ranger (Mike Adams), and he seems to have plagiarized your article on DMSO and cancer. Not only that, but there is a scare quote in the article about someone who died from using DMSO because he had nicotine on his hand when he applied it. And other warnings. Here’s the link: https://healthranger.substack.com/p/dmso-natures-healing-solvent-with?publication_id=1225906&post_id=161482414&isFreemail=true&r=fn2ov&triedRedirect=true

Thanks so much!
AMD- thank you for this article, I knew it was in the pipeline and so happy to see it! Do you (or anyone here) know if taking DMSO orally affects the gut microbiome? I'm guess it's absorbed in the upper digestive tract and never makes it down that far.
I am not sure. I've seen mixed but unclear data on it.
I haven't noticed any gut microbiome effects plus or minus from drinking DMSO every day.
Also, every day I eat oats, broccoli, and other things to make my trillion+ gut microbiome fellow travelers happy, and expect reciprocity.
For bladder cancer that has not invaded the muscle wall, would oral DMSO be used? He is on an immune treatment at the moment. Also using Ivermectin and Fenbendazole ( without telling the urologist). Thanks.
Oral DMSO will go to the urinary tract, but in some of the studies they also applied it directly into the bladder with a catheter
We have applied dmso with haematoxylin dissolved in it, topically to the bladder.
But during the same period (which was five weeks) the principal treatment was standard i.v. MWD's upcoming article will explain in depth all of this. The both together (topic and i.v.) was successful. Patient is 5 years out. And very happy he decided not to go to England to get treatment.
Thank you, Dr.
The action of Haematoxylin for cancer seems similar to that of methylene blue?!
I do not believe so
I also do not believe so.
Thank you, Doctor. What a labor of love of knowledge. Is there a possible source for the footnoted references? Have this ridiculous habit of following references down the rabbit hole. From your past information have added extensively to printed library as a defense against the revisionist history activities to which you may be able to attest.
every footnote links
Thank you. Missed that. Sorry for oversight.
Is there a book or article or website that would guide us how to take DMSO for various cancers? I have the liquid and gel both. But are too strong so need to know how to dilute and what with. And how to drink it? A tablespoon with water? And can it be taken if also taking Nattokinase?
Nothing exists. That's why I spent 3 months writing this.
What did you do to celebrate after it was finished? I bet write more!
Correct! Bit of a break to rest and then work on part 2.
Thank you . Appreciate your work and time! I hope you can publish it and print it. Some.friends literally just need a book to sit down and read in order.to understand. Then need guidance.how to proceed.
I bought a book on Amazon titled The Complete DMSO Healing Guide. It is helpful. Author is Jordan Kent.
Thank you. Appreciate! I bought DMSO
Healing Encyclopedia by Davenport. It has a lot but Its just not quite what I was looking for.
"I highlighted how urologists initially would not touch Lupron..." In all fairness, urologists are surgeons, and for a long time there were no even oncologists to treat prostate cancer, since there were literally no drugs to offer prostate cancer patients, but Lupron and Casadex. And as surgeons, urologist are/were uncomfortable with prescribing long term drugs, since it's not their area of expertise. It all changed when the next generation of oncology drugs for prostate cancer came on the market, but Lupron/analogies are still holding their own to suppress testosterone in between more active treatments. A lot depends in treating of prostate cancer on an oncologist's expertise.
When Lupron was developed, it was only approved for advanced prostate cancer because it was comparable to DES (which is now banned).
Cascadex and Lupron cause prostate cancer sufferers to develop osteporosis, dementia, cardiovascular disease, and hot flashes. They feel so miserable and are so sick on these hormone blockers that they wish they were dead....
40+ years ago, prostate cancer was treated with high dose estrogen and the men felt very good. Their prostate cancer were controlled, their bones,hearts and minds were strong,
Today prostate cancer cancer treated with beta 17 estradiol, and testosterone. Quality of life and overall health would be much much better.
There is also much evidence that Ivermectin, Menbendazole or Fenbendazole, are highly effective at reducing PSA levels and prostate cancer.
Many many options other than pharmaceutical poison exist, that create health and well-being, not death and disease.
Really? And do you know the above in practice or theory? "there is also evidence" - "also evidence" is not evidence enough:-)
I would read the books and blogs mentioned. There is much research on these although the majority of it is in vitro, plus anecdotal evidence being collected by treating doctors.
From in-vitro to phase I trial, it's a long, long/often futile way. Tons of hypotheticals in "books and blogs," "anecdotal evidence" by docs, doesn't make it viable or true.
When you have cancer many are willing to give other directions a try. Your response means nothing.
Yes, some do. There are metastatic prostate cancer patients, who spend on supplements $700-1000/month, and still end up dead and broke. There are tons of people who would take money from desperate people. Supplements are not regulated, drugs are.
It's always surprises me how people, who know nothing, feel that they got a lot to "share." Please fight the urge:-)
Angelina, we are mostly dealing with regulated, repurposed drugs here. Often repurposed drug cocktails. Still, there is none of the kind of "evidence" of the type that many doctors demand, and probably never will be. When most doctors say "There is no evidence", what they usually mean is that there are mo placebo controlled, double blind, large scale trials on humans, preferably studies which are repeated many times. Now, say a drug like Ivermectin actually was quite beneficial for a new purpose like cancer Since it can not be patented and make a drug company billions, who is going to pay for these very expensive large, double blind studies on humans? For the most part, no one, so they will never be done. Doctors will never have "evidence" regarding these drugs. In fact, if a drug company was willing to spend the money to study these off patent drugs, and the studies showed the IVM (or whatever) was great, then it would cost the drug companies megabucks beyond the cost of the study on humans. Because this cheap drug would compete with their drug that costs 20K per MONTH, as my my Erleada, Orgovix and Xgeva do. (thank goodness I am off of all but the Xgeva, though they wanted me on them for life) ............... So, we are not likely to ever see the studies which most doctors will accept for evidence....................................... But not being doctors, we don't need such high levels of evidence, particularly for drugs already proven safe for humans decades ago. Since they are safe and cheap, all we need is a few in Vitro and in Vivo studies that repeatedly show strong enough evidence that would make any reasonable person say "Hey, I think I want to give that cheap, safe drug a shot. Especially since my docs have not given me much of a shot at all, even if I take their barbaric and harmful treatments. And perhaps a few by chance discoveries, such as someone notices that if 80,000 patients are on an old drug, they are far less likely to die of cancer than an equal number of patients who are not taking that drug. Causing curious scientists to take a look at that drug............................................ And now we have thousands of testimonials and small clinical trials that are mostly showing great benefit, better than anything most doctors have to offer us.. More every day. And for most us, that is plenty of evidence and enough to make a personal trial a reasonable gamble. It was certainly good enough evidence for me when I was diagnosed stage 4 prostate cancer over 3 years ago, and a now NED. I read up on my miserable testosterone blocking drugs to that I have done far, far better than usual, and done so from the very beginning. I can't prove anything, but my GREAT progress makes me highly suspicious that some of my repurposed drugs, working in synergy with each other and my megabuck prescription drugs, have got me to a much better place than I was expecting. Still no radiation, no chemo, just surgery 11 years ago and when it failed, and I went to stage 4, just the testosterone blockers PLUS my own added concoction. My PSA went from doubling every couple of months(prognosis very poor) to undetectable in 30 days, and has remained so for over 3 years. My doctors have seemed quite surprised. As they should be. But they don't know about my re-purposed drug cocktail.
@BKinMS - I would have to repeat that in-vitro & in-vivo studies are far, far away from a phase Ia trial in humans. NCI can run trials on re-purposed drugs as you describe, they have the network and capacity to do so. Also , the Principal Investigators initiated studies could be run of re-purposed drugs. DoD subsidizes prostate cancer trials. Capsaicin from chili peppers is known to keep PSA down. I don't understand, how 11 years after "just" a surgery, your care providers let your cancer jump to stage IV without any treatment offered in between? Nothing like Enzalutamide, Abiraterone, Apalutamide, etc? I am glad that whatever you are doing is working, but maybe there is a point of sharing it with your health care provider?
Well, I know something...a lot of something, in fact. My husband has been diagnosed, since 2015, with pros cancer. It's now stage 4 mets. He has suffered terribly with the conventional treatment. Lupron, along with all the chemo/radiation, did indeed give him weak bones (resulting in broken hip), hot flashes, heart condition, hypothyroidism, brain fog/short term memory loss...etc. He had to quit the lupron because of how miserable it made him feel - hot flashes so bad, he soaked the bed.
Yes, desperate ppl spend money on supplements, etc...they also give in to all the fear-mongering from conventional docs, who make a shit-ton of money off the "treatments"- chemo drugs are some of the most lucrative. One session of iv chemo for my husband was billed at $15,000...some are much higher than that. Oncology is one of highest paid specialties.
And after all that chemo/radiation, my husband is a skeleton, who won't be walking this earth much longer, and his quality of life is pure shit. As he says, the only reason he's still alive is because of the "alternative" therapies I've researched, and applied. He'd have been dead yrs ago, because of the aggressiveness of this particular pros cancer (thanks, uncle sam, for the agent orange you exposed my husband to in Vietnam, along with other service members and the Vietnamese ppl...and phuck off).
@Moe - I'm very sorry to hear about your husband. But you also pointed out, your husband lived 10 years after his diagnosed, while even in the early 2000s, his life expectancy would be around 6 months.
Chemotherapy is usually used very late in the course of prostate cancer treatments, while buying time/quality of life on a plethora of oral drugs available. I'm not arguing that the outrageous costs of chemotherapy, but most of chemo costs are charged by the hospitals for usage of premises, equipment, nursing, etc.
I do understand you are upset, so understandably so, and there are prostate cancer patients have bad reaction to Lupron, but there are substitutes. Chance are, your husband is probably treated in VA system hospitals, and they're notoriously bad on services and care. Again, I'm very sorry about your husband.
Thank you. Yes, he has so far lived 10 yrs after diagnosis mainly because of the natural therapies I've researched and put him on. Even his doctors admit that.
He is not treated at VA hospitals...he's had very bad treatment in the past, won't go back. He's got his own doctors, and a large, modern hospital system in the state of Washington.
He's also had multiple oral/iv chemo drugs, all with horrible side effects.
Six months life expectancy with an early prostate cancer diagnosis? Nope...pros cancer with early diagnosis typically has a very good outcome...unless it's an aggressive type, such as caused by agent orange.
He was given lupron injections and an oral chemo drug immediately after his initial round of radiation, which occurred right after diagnosis...so, not late in the course of treatment.
That's kind of laughable that you're excusing the costs of chemo...they're (hospitals, oncologists, pharma, insurance) making money hand over fist on these cancer treatments. The cancer industry is a huge cash cow.
I'm very well familiar with prostate cancer treatment, and I know Washington prostate oncology scene well. I didn't say 6 month life expectancy for an "early prostate cancer diagnosis," did I? Prostate cancer is a "long playing" cancer, and chemo is given usually at the end, not at the diagnosis. I'm not "excusing" the costs of oncology treatment! I find it outrageous. I was simply explaining how such costs compile. The US oncology patients are buying drugs through the Canadian online pharmacies, where the same drugs cost 10 times less than in the US. You really need to read what I actually wrote vs. putting words in my mouth and jumping to conclusions.
This is very true (in-vitro data not transferring to human results) and one reason why I do not discuss a lot of cancer treatments that are widely discussed elsewhere.
I suggest you not miss the next Forgotten Side. In aprox two weeks.
It will be worth your time.
Is “Forgotten Side” a Substack or podcast?
substack
That’s so funny, this is one of my favorite substacks, but I never noticed the actual title, I compartmentalize it in my brain only as “A Midwestern Doctor”. Now I feel silly.
I tried to shoot for very unassuming titles!
Is it ok to take DMSO while on blood thinners like apixaban?
There's a chance it can make you excessively anticoagulated, but in practice this rarely comes up (e.g., many people I asked didn't think it was an issue but I've gotten a few reports of increased nose bleeds). As such, main advice is if you do both concurrently to monitor blood coagulation.
Dmso is reported to potentiate apixaban. We had no choice very recently but to use it.
The Dmso was i.v. daily 8ml. Nothing happened. This is strictly anectdotal please note.
Do you mind me asking what compelled you to use the DMSO along with the apixaban? My husband is on Eliquis and I have been wondering what the interaction would likely be.
I do
How much of each are you using?
Hi! I was hoping to get some input into a situation I have with a family member. This is her third time getting breast cancer (this last time it is stage 4) with metastasis to her hip.
She’s undergone everything under the sun, even as far as going to Austria to get integrative treatments to boost her immune system prior to surgery.
That DID reduce the size of her breast lump, and then she had it surgically removed. The second time it came back she underwent chemotherapy.
This time she just started radiation to her hip and neck/breast lymph nodes. The oncologists are telling her that there is no evidence that radiation can prolong her life, but are still recommending her to do it. They have had her on Verzenio for the last 9 months (which after a while stops being effective). She will stop the Verzenio during the radiation treatments (which she is undergoing now and last till November) and then will continue it again.
I have told her about DMSO and she is willing to try it. Currently, she’s using it topically prior to radiation treatments (25% strength), though it ends up being longer than 20 minutes between the application of DMSO and the actual radiation treatments.
It seems that the Verzenio is starting to lose its effectiveness in her, so I was hoping that the DMSO might increase its effectiveness, but am not certain as to what dose to advise to her. Just topical? A gram orally daily? I’m just not sure. Plus, it’s unclear what the DMSO might do, whether it could increase the toxicity of the drug (however I’m leaning toward it being protective of the potential adverse effects of Verzenio, specifically inflammation of the lung and blood clots). I am almost positive that sharing her addition of DMSO to the oncologists would provoke unaccountable levels of horror, which is unfortunate because if she needed to reduce her Verzenio dose due to increased toxicity we wouldn’t be able to share that either.
Any tips or ideas would be most appreciated.
Also, I have read over the D-hematoxylin article and was wondering if it would be worth it to try that as well, though the only thing going for her in that respect is that she is unvaccinated. It seems that mixture doesn’t do as well with solid tumors, plus she’s already had chemotherapy. This would be a Hail Mary for her. Everything else has failed and modern medicine is hardly helpful.
Thank you so much for your time.
If I’m receiving gemzar and abraxane from a conventional hospital that doesn’t practice alternative therapies can I drink a 70% solution of dmso right before the chemo is administered? Should I continue it for 5 days with 2 days off?
If I’m receiving gemzar and abraxane from a conventional hospital can I take DMSO before going in for the treatment? Or should I take it right before the chemo is administered? How much? What percentage? Thank you.
Can’t find the section on oral treatment of prostate problems using DMSO
That's wonderful! So happy for both of you.
I want to know if I can drink the 50% dmso right before I’m given chemo (gemzar and abraxane)? Will it be effective?
What would be the dose for a new found lung lymph node less than 3 cm. Just found on pet scan
I have a few questions. How should oral DMSO be spaced between meals? Is it advisable to take it on an empty stomach, or should it be taken with food? Additionally, how should DMSO be combined with Hematoxylin? Which form of Hematoxylin is best to buy—powder, crystals, or solution? What would be the correct ratio, and is this mixture intended solely for topical application, or can it also be used orally or intramuscularly? I’m specifically asking in the context of basal cell carcinoma and IPMN pancreatic cysts.
My second question concerns which of these combinations would be most effective for treating IPMN pancreatic cysts, which are precancerous, as well as cysts in the breasts, in the pineal gland, and syringomyelia in the spine? Which route/routes would be best? And what remedies mixed with DMSO? I would be really grateful for your answers.
Stainless is ideal and readily available.
Just a practical question. Can you use a normal metal spoon to measure DMSO? Or do you want to use glass for every step of using it?

puzzling question: studied about getting a friend some good quality dmso cream w aloe for his painful back and knees, he's 79. before I ordered some, I asked AI if dmso was ok for a diabetic. stern warning came! might interfere with insulin. Said be cautious and speak with a doctor first! Yikes. What do you think? Hate to abandon this great product if it could help him.
It can potentiate insulin.
Dear Doc. Thankyou for your article. I'm getting biopsy on growth in kidney in a month. Read your two referenced articles:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0304383587901819
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0304383584900831
And I don't understand what they say!
Wondering if OK to rub 99% pure pharmaceutical grade DSMO on upper right back, under ribs, (it's my right kidney) and would that be OK?
20% chance not cancer, urologist says, and 80% chance it is. If it is cancer, they're recommending radiation as pulmonologist says I probably wouldn't survive abdominal surgery for that. (Saw all your articles about DSMO and radiation too, thankyou.)
Was rubbing it on, didn't bother me, then read that it might not be good for kidneys!!??
Would greatly appreciate your advice! Thankyou.
What do you think of Antineoplaston (ANP) therapy by Dr Burzynski?
I apologize if this has been asked but I am a little confused about the duration of time for application. Is it daily or skip 1-2 days a week?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I am trying to access “evaluation of dimethyl sulfoxide therapy in chronic respiratory insufficiency of bronchopulmonary origin”, which was published in 1975 in the Annals of the New York Academy of sciences. It’s January 1975: volume 243, issue 1. It’s a 500 page publication with many articles on DMSO.
Can anyone help me access the entirety of the article. All I can access is the first page, even though my university allows me to see just about everything I want to see with regard to medical journals.
Thanks!

Doctor, what is your opinion of Andreas Kalcker (Biophysical researcher in electromolecular medicine and chlorine dioxide (ClO2) developer of its advanced form, CDS) and his use of Chlorine Dioxide Solution (ClO2) in treating cancers and other illnesses?https://open.substack.com/pub/drkalcker/p/the-cds-protocols
1) I use a lot of oxidative therapies.
2) I think CDS works but its proponents are overstating its efficacy
3) I haven't written about it because other people already are
I am a physician with 43 years of practice so far. I told a fellow MD about the DMSO I had read in your articles. He applied DMSO to a physician who had intractable headaches and somehow cured what none of the neurologists could fix. No more headaches and no further treatment. This patient MD was going to quit work because of the headaches! I have many patients now who have benefited from your great work in putting these articles together. Thanks from all.
Great article , thank you. I have a back injury , spondylolisthesis and a hip that is bone on bone . I had the other hip replaced 5 years ago and would like to save this hip and my back from surgery if possible. I am In some pain, but control it with aspirin and niacin mixture ( learned about this on Dr. Mercola and Georgi Dinkov articles) I found your information promising, but felt a bit of a let down when I read that regular DMSO topical application might not be so effective for the hip. How do I go about getting the DMSO injections? And can they be self done? I would appreciate thorough instructions, where to locate injectible DMSO etc. and maybe some sources of where I can find this service if it can't be self applied. I live in the southwest corner of Texas, bordering New Mexico and Chihuahua Mexico. Thank you
Question… my daughter has mastitis and has been on antibiotics… which are not helping is it safe to use DMSO topically? I’m thinking yes and maybe bottle feed formula for a few days ? Please weigh in on your opinion. I promise not to consider this as medical advice and just your opinion. On another note I did use it topically on my son for hidradenitis suppurative and it did get it under control🙏🏻. As soon as it starts to flare I use it, so thank you!
I am looking for the dosage for Parkinson's disease. Thanks
Dr. Kory sent me to read your article on the uses of DMSO for Cardiac Amyloidosis. I read your literature. Now, my main focus is find out what dosage works? I have had 2 autoimmunes, PMR and Raynauds. If you can shed any light, I would certainly appreciate your assistance. I did buy the DMSO on left. Thanks and have a great day.
Dear MWDr author,
If there are clinics in the US or Central/South America that utilize the D-hematoxylin, are you able to share them here? This reader is in a late-stage cncr situation, standard-of-care therapies have not worked, have already started with dmso and antihelmintics applied topically.
I am really so confused about this wrapping & wiping off with DMSO. It’s all new to me. What do y’all think of the drops?
I’ve missed where I can purchase and dosage. We use what I bought at a Feed Store now but it’s almost gone! Thanks!
I’ve bought mine from Amazon. I keep a small glass-dropper bottle of 50/50 dmso/filtered water on hand for topical use. Your personal sensitivity determines your % dilution. Some people drink a tbsp in 2 oz of liquid, others do 4 oz of liquid. Because of dmso’s safety, dosage is up to you.
Thanks!!
Who here has ovarian cancer & has used DMSO?
I keep sending messages about where to find DMSO and how to use it as an ovarian cancer patient, but I cannot seem to find where my post ends up or where the answers are someone help me out here
Hi ,
I am wondering if there is any information on DMSO being used with osimertinib, possible risks etc
Thanks so much for your work!
HI-- I have a question about DMSO but do not know where to ask it. I am a medical provider (PA-C) and have read a fair amount regarding DMSO over the past year and have been utilizing the cream for joint pain for years. After reading your incredibly well researched information regarding it I decided to provide IV DMSO for my husband who suffers from somewhat acute onset IPH following covid in 2021 (not vaccinated). We have been trying multiple treatments including daily ivermectin, Boabab, NAD, NAC, glutathione, multiple other supplements and whole food diet, good hydration....along with Bioregualtor and peptide therapy, and even some IV stem cells. He remains on oxygen daily and has signficantly decreased QOL. He now takes ambrisentan, clopidogrel, jardiance, sildenafil, lasix. He got COVID during a 400 mile bike ride across IOWA. No other medical problems except IPH. I presented his case at 2024 IMA conference. We are still hoping to find someone who could maybe help.
Regardless--- I did give him IV DMSO at 0.5 g/Kg of 99% pure DMSO (Pharma grade). First treatment was 3 days ago. No noticable changes thus far. One of the biggest questions (which seems minor but isn't) is the 'offgasing' of the DMSO. SO BAD and strong. We have tried chlorophyll, gargling, tongue scraping, showers and a dose of activated charcoal (between normal meds). It is still present. Do you (or anyone) know of anything that can mitigate the DMSO odor that is SO pungent and persistent? Not even sure it is helping but at this point we are trying everything. It is lasting much longer than the expected 24 hours. Any thoughts or help on any of this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for you incredible insight, intellingence and presentations of these timely topics. I lost my PA job in a level one trauma ED during the 'plandemic' due to being unvaxxed and also for providing Iveremectin, etc for patients. I know do biohacking with peptides/bioregulators and health optimization.
I am still hoping someone can help me with DMSO and potential Ductal Carcinoma. Just wanting to do the right thing in how I apply/ administer it. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
I have now been diagnosed with DCIS ( ductal carcinoma in situation) I will need to have a lumpectomy in the next month or so. Again, any help in how to incorporate DMSO in this process. Thank you in advance!
my brother is dying of an aggressive form of prostate cancer he got after taking the Covid shot.
he has tried using natural remedies and has had some relief but his cancer doctors won't help or even support him because he won't use chemo or radiation drugs - they would rather watch him die then help him. Is there any doctor that can help him live either by using DMSO or some other natural treatment? We are at a loss of what to do and no one seems willing to help.
My brother lives in Western NY State which is part of the problem. Please, anything you could suggest would be helpful. Thanks.

I just had a follow-up mammogram to re- check the calcifications they found in my previous mammogram 6 months prior. This time they found that the calcifications had morphed into an erratic pattern that suggested to them that I need to have a biopsy and a potential lumpectomy.
I am very motivated to try DMSO to restore differentiation to these cells. I need to know the concentration ( currently I have a 70% DMSO to 30% Aloe Vera blend that I use for joint pain).
Also, I would like to know if I can use this orally, topically or both? Thank you in advance for your help with this.
Thank you so much for all this information! It is very relevant for me at the moment so a big thank you.
Before knowing about DMSO, I had a BCC removed from my lip. I have a spot now that I’d like to use the 30% ascorbic acid with DMSO topically, but I’m not clear what the 30% means. I already have the DMSO solution 99.995 from DMSO Store and have sodium ascorbate, but I can buy ascorbic acid if the buffered form I have doesn’t work for this. What’s the actual ratios I’d use to make the paste though?
Should I wait a certain amount of time between taking any oral meds/supplements and applying dmso topically? How about when taking dmso orally? I take ivermectin, medbendazole, LDN, propranolol, metformin, berberine, EGCG, Omega 3, K, D, and other things in my protocol from Cancer Care and started dmso in anticipation of radiation soon. I will also start TDM1 chemo again in about 2 weeks. Since my SOC team is not open to even considering this info should I stop using DMSO 24 hours before and 48 hours after chemo to avoid the potential potentiation issues? I believe the chemo only has a half life of 36-48 hours.
So this comment is a bit late & is prompted by a Dr. McCullough’s post just today (4/1/25) on DSMO. My take away was he was not a fan, or, at least not a fan of self administered DSMO. While I personally have not tried any form of DSMO, I seriously considered it for my dog. I believe what you have written about it & have no qualms about trying it should the occasion arise. However, my real purpose in posting this comment (& hope it doesn’t get lost in the delay) is to address the art of medicine, so to speak, as obviously there is a different take on something by 2 people who I respect their experience & expertise. This comment is also in light of the tragic demise of a 1 YO right after being given a slew of “prescribed” vaccines & the death of the child who had measles.
The real culprit here IMHO is not the circumstances involving the treatment or disease but the disconnect between the physician & him/herself. After all I believe the cornerstone statement of all healing practices is ‘physician heal thyself’. Inference being that the disease doesn’t really exist in the patient but in the mind of the physician, meaning that patients go to doctors not for some therapeutic, but for the consciousness of the doctor. But as long as we perpetuate the belief that healing is in a drug or procedure, then not only a the patients cut off from a cure but so is the doctor. Your articles on this therapeutic struck me as much as cultivating the awareness of healing than promoting a miracle compound.
Thank you. Regarding the article. I can't view most of the article because he pay-walled it. That said from what I can see:
1) The systematic review he's citing said there's no real toxicity with DMSO
2) He is correct; no one has done a study on if it treats long COVID or COVID vaccine injuries because most of the research on DMSO was done long before COVID existed. I've only found a few studies where it was used in combination with something else to treat acute COVID.
3) In earlier studies, DMSO has been shown to treat a variety of symptoms which overlap with COVID vaccine/long covid symptoms.
4) I know people who felt DMSO helped either of those, but since the data is extremely lacking, I have made a point to not present DMSO as a cure for either.
After I posted the DMSO series people have been posting articles saying DMSO is bad and then paywalling the material to get subscribers
I wonder if DMSO, given its effects on various cancers, has a similar effect on those same cancers that are also correlated to having arisen after the covid shots? Also, has there been in report of long-covid being helped by DMSO? I don't recall reading that in any comments or elsewhere.

Doc. My friend has an advanced cancer.
He's down to try DMSO but wants to walk thru it with his oncologist first.
Can you lmk which articles/research links I;should give him to share with his oncologist to review?
Thank you for all your helpful articles.
DMSO has eased and all but eliminated my shoulder and neck pain.
I have places on my lungs my pulmonologist thinks are either a fungus, inflammation or infection.
Can I nebulize DMSO in a saline solution to maybe resolve these?
Re PET Scans and DMSO ..
My understanding is PET scans are frequently used to study cardiac perfusion [I've had one for this] .. how diagnostic are they, how problematic are they, and would DMSO applied topically or via 'drinking it' before hand help
Hi, you don't mention chronic lympthastic leukemia as one of the blood cancers that it may work on but it may be because that's a rare one. Do you know if there have been studies with DMSO and that type of leukemia?
Dmso and Hematoxylon can send CLL into (indefinite) remission. We have a couple of patients in remission.
Can anyone give advice or personal experiences of using DMSO for gout tophi on a big toe.
I have been advised to have surgery but have also been told that the after effects can often be worse than the problem, plus, I will possibly need a skin graft for the wound and at 79 it is not something I want to get into.
Thank you in advance and any input would be much appreciated.
As someone who uses DMSO but has no medical knowledge whatsoever, I would be most grateful if A Mid Western Doctor or anyone else with medical/pharmaceutical expertise could provide any information or responses to the considerable list of health problems listed on the Substack of Geoff Pain Phd, supposedly caused by the use of DMSO.
Thank you in anticipation.
I addressed most of them here:

I feel he was biased by his past lab training (which occurred at a time when the FDA was trying to convince everyone DMSO was extremely dangerous and labs needed to make sure lab chemicals did not absorb into the body via DMSO).
I will go through your article and thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my question.
Today is March 24, I found the article in my emails and paid an annual subscription fee. My husbsnd and I have been using DMSO but am needing more information. Plus we have a cow with Cancer in her eye socket and we’d live to save her. Thank you for the effort you put into sharing this information- we are behind you!!
Sodium phenylbutyrate is a prodrug and a prominent MD in Texas doses at 10-12 grams orally daily. Sodium phenylbutyrate (SPB) as a prodrug, means the liver changes it into the active drug, sodium phenylacetate (SPA). SPA has a large number of published journal articles if put into a search engine with "cancer". SPB can be given orally as the active SPA complexes glutamine and so SPA cannot be given orally. This is a glutamine depletion compound and some aggressive cancers metabolize glutamine actively.
Water in cells "should be in an energy generating liquid crystalline state".
Might that more accurately be "should be in an energy storing liquid crystalline state"?

I starting using the DMSO last night. I got the tingling and itching where I applied it like expected. Afterwards, I could feel it moving through my body and having an effect on different areas, but the best part was I could feel my sinuses opening up and I could breath better. I had the best sleep last night, I didn't want to get up this morning. Today, my husband and I are noticing that water tastes different to us. It has this horrible after taste now. I haven't noticed a change in taste with anything else. I've had my taste change after a parasite cleanse so I know how that sense can respond changes in the body but wondered if this was common side effect and if it goes away over time.
Off topic, but necessary? MWD, could you pls consider a research paper on PDE5 inhibitor use and malignant melanoma? Believe the Big Pharma machine is in overdrive on this cash cow...
Realistically I am not going to have time to get to that, but if you can read between the lines, I think most of the key point are conveyed in the answer https://www.perplexity.ai/ gives.
Many thanks and much appreciation for the kindness of a reply. All of us need to vet AI results carefully and repeatedly. One of the main talking heads for melanoma related PDE5 inhibitors being caused by increased sun exposure is Dr. Stacy Loeb. Very brief research shows that doctor is one of the "we are real science" and we must silence the "science deniers" crowd. That is what piqued my interest on this topic...
Quick question. I hope someone can answer. I have been following this site and decided to buy DMSO for a number of issues. I checked DMSO store.com and Jacob Lab. Jacob lab has an 8 Oz. glass bottle at 70% for $60.00. DMSOstore doesn't mention 70% or any other % so I assume they are all 100%. They also mention low odor and pharmagrade, and even have mention of different fragrances. So are they all worthwhile and as efficient as the liquid undiluted kind? Sorry, but after covid vax, my concentration is terrible!
Personally I only purchase 99.9% pure. Any odor reduction is probably bs. If I want added essential oils, I can add them - I’ve become very untrusting of marketing! I’m in the sticks - I buy my dmso from Amazon.
Just throwing this out there, since I read DMSO can be used with spinal issues - my spouse was just diagnosed with a spinal arachnoid cyst. Does anyone know if this may be potentially beneficial for that?
Thank you again AMD! Interesting about cancer. I am trying on a spot on my husband to see what it will do. He has had so many skin cancers not melanoma. Also I do believe I it’s working on his back pain issue.
Thank you!
I have been treating myself and my wife with oral DMSO. One advantage is that I don't notice her garlic breath as I have the same thing and the odor sensitive cells are saturated, so I am insensitive to DMSO breath.
1 tsp per day for each of us still uses up the 8oz bottles from the DMSO store, available at Amazon for $26. Each shipment from Amazon includes an invitation for one to visit the DMSO store. I just bought a gallon for $160 that will allow me to refill several 8oz bottles for $10 each. Buy the small bottles and test diluted samples topically before trying highly diluted oral doses of 1 tsp per day. I use 1 tsp in 6 oz of fruit juice. It still has an oily taste.
I stopped the decline of early onset Alzheimer's in my wife by luck. She developed some horrid bed sores. I broke out the emergency use drugs, veterinarian grade pharmaceuticals, ivermectin and fenbendazole. Available through links at "https://substack.com/@2ndsmartestguyintheworld"
The month by month decline stopped. Way too late. She is bed bound and I have to feed her by hand. Stable for 18 months. Eats well, better hygiene, has her left with no sores or irritated pink skin. So, now I am trying to help her brain cells caught in "cell danger response" to wake up. Thus, the 1 tsp of DMSO per day. It is perfectly legally and morally acceptable for me to do something that doctors cannot. I am using gentle sexual stimulation to increase brain function. She babbles more. Still not understandable. Hip and leg motion does prove stimulation. I don't know if this will improve brain function over time. It has improved her acceptance of changing her Depends.
For myself, oral DMSO is helping wrist pain caused by repetitive stress. My left wrist has healed, I have added a better wrist brace to avoid irritating my right wrist. Without the brace, simple things like screwing a bottle cap on irritates it. Without DMSO, it hurts more, meaning more irritation.

My dog had a very aggressive cancer last march(exactly a year ago) in lungs throat and mouth palate and gums. Veterinary people at Cornell said he has about a month before they recommend being put down . We Did the Fenben and ivermectin which destroyed the tumors in those areas . They literally fell out some he ate we think . He still has a large lump on his upper right gum which is still there . We are still doing the ivermectin and Fenben but it hasn’t gone away and hasn’t gotten worse . Could dmso be applied topically at the lump and oral be administered? Hes a Rottweiler Shepard about 95 pounds 13 -14 years old. Appreciate any help.

I have had mixed results with topical DMSO. My main concern is a tiny "scab" on my leg between my shin and calf that I have had for 2 years. I have no idea how I got it, almost looks like a bug bite. All my other wounds heal extremely fast. It has not caused any new symptoms other than itching at times. Tried all sorts of things to get rid of it. It "flairs" up at times and begins to itch and becomes raised a bit (I have noticed this happens when I eat sugar or drink alcohol) but most of the time it is flat and does not itch. I started applying 70% DMSO gel w/aloe once daily in December 2024. I used it for several weeks daily, then I think I stopped using it for about a week, and have since then been using it daily Mon-Fri and not using it on the weekends. I have no itching or stinging when I apply it to this spot. I have also had absolutely no improvement :( I also used the same formulation on my face...bad idea....I did not follow the advice...was very swollen for an evening to the point where I thought I really screwed up my face but I added some aloe and it was fine in the morning. I saw an improvement in my skin with one use but I have not tried it since. I also applied it to my back and shoulders that get sore from stress, I would say the pain was about 90% gone. It took about 15 minutes for the pain relief to kick in. Have used it several times on my hubby's back and shoulder when he has pain after jiu jitsu, he says it helps significantly. I have avoided taking orally because I am a smoker. I also find it difficult to use because you have to wait until it dries and everywhere except for my leg it itches/burns/tingles like crazy and I have to add a lot of aloe, in other words, for me, I don't feel that it is very user friendly. Was trying to avoid a trip to the dermatologist (and a possible subsequent rabbit hole I'd rather not go down) but I am not having any luck with DMSO on my leg.
Apply topically to skin spreading thinly for better absorption. Recipe suggests taking 2 tsp oral of DMSO 30 minutes prior to treatment. I’ve only used 1 tsp at this point. Opinion?
So to kill cancer stem cells I have found and use this recipe: MMS1 chlorine dioxide and activator (15 drops cd + 1 tsp of activator. (Wait 3 minutes) 1 1/4 of DMSO (stir and wait 3 minutes)
Thank you for the information!! Regarding using vitamin C and DMSO for basil cell carcinomas...would you mix the vitamin c and dmso and apply topically? And if so what vitamin c would you recommend for this process?
I mixed DMSO with some powdered vitamin C and added a bit of matcha to form a paste. I would use it about 3x a day and put a bandaid or cotton swab to protect it. It works!
each DSMO article refers to the "final part....." where information as to sourcing DSMO and how to use and source will be provided. When will this be available?
It's in the last part of the article. The issue is that email clips the articles once they are too long so you need to read them here.
Great article!
What does this mean?
"A 1999 trial of 25 patients found intravesical DMSO treated bladder cancer and that if a one biomarker was then negative following therapy, they were much less likely to have a recurrence."
"This study correlated biomarkers expressed in tumor and epithelial field with clinical response and recurrence. Of 25 bladder cancer patients, 11 received 6 weeks of intravesical Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG), and 14 were treated weekly with intravesical dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) for 4 weeks to further modulate biomarker expression. G-actin, DNA aneuploidy, and p300 tumor antigen were evaluated by quantitative fluorescence image analysis on uroepithelial cells from bladder wash samples prior to and immediately following treatment. Excluding patients who did not respond to BCG (and who had persistently abnormal p300 and DNA markers), recurrence correlated with persistent abnormal G-actin findings. Of patients who were G-actin negative following therapy, only 25% recurred during follow-up in contrast to 67% in patients who were positive (p < 0.03 by Fisher's exact test). The odds ratio for recurrence was 6.00 (95% confidence interval: 1.3-28.6). Cytosolic G-actin levels can be an important intermediate end point marker for chemoprevention."
A lot of times when cancer is treated, certain blood work values are measured. They found when DMSO dropped G-actin, it normally was a sign the cancer was going to go away.

My husband has very aggressive prostate cancer and we wanted to ask his medical oncologist about DMSO but it appears it isn't FDA approved. How do we find a doctor who can talk to us and maybe prescribe it to him. Sounds so interesting with so much potential for him. He also heads to radiation treatment in 6 weeks and the pre-radiation treatments sounded perfect for him. Any assistance would be so appreciated. Thank you
Pierre Kory's practice treats cancer with repurposed drugs and also uses DMSO.
Question: What are you hoping to gain through a prescription? A dosage recommendation perhaps? It's fairly over the counter stuff.
Would treatment for multiple myeloma need to be oral since it is systemic? If topical would it matter where it was applied?
Any can get into the circulation, but IV is the most potent, followed by oral, followed by topic.
How do you find a practitioner to do the IV?
Does DMSO resolve Reflux/GERD? My husband has had it for a year w/o treating it and it's gotten very bad w/o doing anything about it. He started drinking DMSO, 1 tsp/day for his shoulder after topical gel didn't help. And lo and behold he was able to lay lying down for the all night that very 1st night! Then a 2nd. But it wasn't the case every night after that. Anyway, the odor was SO VERY BAD he had to brake due to work travel but will start up again.
1 - Just curious about DMSO working for reflux?
2 - Is there anything to do about the odor? It smells up the house and the car...from 1 tsp, lol.
3 - Does the odor indicate heavy detoxing?
1) I have not heard of this, but I could see it helping a lot if it increased parasympathetic function and that led to more stomach acid being released.
2) My best guess is that it's due to reductive stress in the body or gut dysbiosis or excess toxicity in the body. Solutions people use include:
•Wait for it to go away (often it eventually does over course of treatment)
•Time doses so odor is not socially detrimental.
•Do a general detox process
•Fix gut health
•Also take an oxidizing agent like chlorine dioxide (which may make DMSO less potent but it's not clear)
•Use breath mints
I appreciate your response! Thank you for your thoughts and advice!
Since my husband let his reflux go on for so long and recently, HCL made it worse, he's going to get scoped for ulcers.
I see in this article of yours, DMSO can help ulcers! https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-dmso-protects-and-heals-the-internal Excerpts:
“For example, ...cited a 1968 patent that stated DMSO had helped a significant number of people with ..., peptic ulcers, ... The other gastrointestinal studies are as follows:”
“•A randomized double-blind study of 363 consecutive patients...100% of those who received DMSO or allopurinol recovered. Additionally, the one year relapse rate was 7% in those who took DMSO... Note: this study also discussed the use of DMSO to treat peptic and duodenal ulcers.”
Sooo, if he has ulcers he'll definitely start DMSO up again and if he doesn't maybe he'll still start it up since he had initial results laying flat through the night instead of having to wait until 3-4 am to lay flat, from a propped up position.
Get DMSO from the DMSOStore. It doesn't have the garlicky smell.
Note: In the comment section, I found this!
I found a patent that uses honey with DMSO to reduce the topical itching and possible garlic breath. https://patents.google.com/patent/US7790928B1/en
It’s a funny idea for a patent, sort of like patenting lemonade, but I’m glad I came across the honey/DMSO formulas/ratios he outlines as they make DMSO less itchy topically and more palatable orally.
Thank you very much! Awesome find!
I had trouble with the itching and irritation.
Kudos to AMD for an outstanding comprehensive review! For me personally, however, it raises more questions than answers. I had GE junction cancer (adenocarcinoma), had a complete gastrectomy, then months later a metastatic node was detected attached to my left lung, which was surgically removed just days ago. I am now following the Marik/Hope protocols for killing any stem cells that may be floating around, to prevent a further recurrence. Can DMSO help with that, specifically? If so, should I use it internally or externally? If the latter, where would I apply it? I have no idea whether or how I might beneficially use it at this juncture. So much more work needs to be done on this promising cancer-fighting agent.
I am trying to avoid claiming anything I can't back up with existing evidence which is why I avoided stating a lot of things that were strongly implied by the data.
That said:
•There's no real risk or cost in using DMSO (assuming its not mixed with anything toxic) whereas many other options entail one or both of those.
•All of this will make a lot more sense after I put out part 2.
Thank you so much for the depth of this discussion. As far as you know, what is the shelf life for DMSO?
I do not know but I've used 10 year old bottles without issue
good question. I would guess quite long, but I'd like to hear what MWD says about it. One thing I've wondered about is exposure to light. My 99% DMSO came in a clear glass bottle, but the 70% came in brown glass. Does light break it down?
Yes slowly
When taking DMSO internally is it best to do it on a full or empty stomach?
When AMD publishes a long post, sometimes it's good to break it down for comprehension. Go to the post's end and read up, and your question will be answered.
I think it would have been shorter if you just answered my question.
Thanks ,a welcome addiction to Paul Marik,s work on repurposed and non-convential treatments . I tried oral dose of DMSO, get a headache, maybe juice is better than water. I am having plastic surgery , do we apply 100 percent DMSO on the open wound
1) figure out what % your skin tolerates.
2) apply it around wound.
3) once wound closes you can apply it on top.
4) you can do inside wound too, but it's more sensitive so some advice against it.
Caution on using 100percent DMSO topically. I find I can't tolerate anything higher than a 20% DMSO solution. Other folks can take a much higher percentage. The burning and itching are too much! The author did state in another comment that open wounds are too sensitive for most mere mortals, but suggested using it on the perimeter of the wound.
I use 99% pure topically (gel from Tractor Supply) and it itched at first, but now a week later, no itching after using it about twice a day. It just depends. But it has worked very well for knee area pain. No redness or skin peeling.
Has this been tested on ENKTL ( cutaneous)?
I did not come across that
Given the immune suppression from mRNA vaccines, do you think DMSO still has the ability to be an effective agent in mRNA induced cancers?
Yes but not as effective as it is for normal cancers.
I appreciate how much time you spent on this. I wish there was more research or experience with it for solid tumor cancers. In addition to the actual research you outlined, do you have a general recommendation for someone with a solid tumor cancer, or someone who is trying to avoid recurrence? Maybe for internal use, the "start with 1 tsp/day and go from there" from a previous post?
Everything I know was detailed here (minus what will be in the hemoxylin post).
I've had numerous people share they took oral DMSO for decades and none of them reported having any health issues (including cancers) but that's not the most solid data to go off here.
